Access Issue: Closures
Details
September 4 to December 1: the NCAR-Table Mesa/Bear Trail will be closed because of Xcel electric construction work. The NCAR-Bear Connector Trail may see intermittent, full-day closures because of this work.
Per the FCC: September 5 and September 6: the NCAR-Bear Canyon Trail, the NCAR-Bear Connector – along with a Mesa Trail section from NCAR to Fern Canyon– will be closed because of Xcel-related electric work.
Mid-September through Mid-November: the NCAR-Bear Canyon Trail between Stony Hill Road west to NCAR-Bear Connector will be closed 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. This closure will help OSMP complete some of the department’s final 2013 flood-recovery work to repair trails and restore wildlife and plant habitats in the area.

Description
Strata-Caster is named after a beautiful panel of ancient mud castings that is encountered on the route. It follows a steep and colorful shield of rock on the right side of the wall. The rock is solid and seems to be cleaner, in general, than other routes up there. Still, some care is occasionally necessary to avoid wandering off route and into potential chossy sections here and there.
Start up easy 5.5 or 5.6 terrain to a high first bolt. From there, follow the bolts up steeper terrain, past a small roof, to the base of another small roof below a clean red shield of rock. The next 20 feet (bolts 7 through 9) is the crux region and involves some powerful, reachy climbing on crisp edges. Some delicate footwork is also needed in this section. Some more interesting climbing past the mud casts leads to the final roof. Thuggy moves over this roof take you to fun 5.10 jugs and the anchor above.
This route is about 36 or 37 meters long, and a 70m rope just gets you to the ground with rope stretch. Therefore, make sure to bring a minimum 70-meter long rope, and if using a 70, knot the end, and be careful. An 80m rope is a good idea if you have one.
Enjoy, and thanks to OSMP for allowing new route development in beautiful places like this! Also thanks to Paul Glover for spotting this line and getting it permitted for bolting.

Location
This route is on the south side of the west face, maybe 15 yards uphill from the right edge of that huge pedestal/ledge feature (... which is used used to access Tits Out..., Release the Hostages, The Big Picture, etc.). It is also right of Short Attention Span. Look for the high starting bolt and the line of bolts above that.
