| The calcite on the first pitch has to be one of the coolest features of climbing Castleton. Best pro in the desert, as I see it. Wonderful route, very worthwhile summit and exhilirating rappel. Getting the clip on the bolt that begins the second pitch is scary. A number 8 camalot would really protect the crack well!! We went back in April 2005 for the Kor-Ingalls. What a workout. Very heady on the third pitch, but a great feature. Colby should get away from the classics (twice, no less!!) and try some obscure routes in the desert:-). | |

| Awesome exposure rappelling off the top. The third pitch is very run-out unless fixed protection has been added since 1991. | |

| coundn't have picked a better day for the climb, the weather was perfect. the route was about what was expected, fun and somewhat demanding at the same time. the calcite deposits do make for some tricky/unconventional moves. | ||

| A fun route, yes with some wide and slippery chimney and offwidth sections. | |

| I climbed the Kor-Ingal together with my wife Rike and our Friend Klaus "Alaska" Irmler during our 8-week trip at the western US in 1996. Great landscape, great climb ! The crux is demanding for most european climbers. | |
