| Spent a few hours climbing at Castle Rock, until we got tired of the heat. Started on pitch 1 of The Fault (5.6), then climbed Catapult (5.8) to reach Logger's Ledge. Did Canary (5.8) in two pitches, which was stellar...nice exposed move followed by intricate face climbing. Descended back to Logger's Ledge and climbed Midway Direct (5.6) in two pitches to the top again and then descended to the car. A nice day despite the heat. | |

| First "Bigger Wall" experience. Have only previously climbed at Vantage and some of the easier stuff up icicle. No way in hell 5.8 is 5.8 at Castlerock. Felt like my climbing took about 2 gigantic leaps backwards as far as ability goes. Seconded Crack of Doom. Could barely hold on let alone pull pieces. Finally made it though after some hang dogging. South Face felt true to its grade and the top of Jello Tower is beautiful. Snow was still an issue on the approach and next to Jello tower on the North side. Belayed next to an iceberg, pretty cold. Will definitely be back. My Muscles are shot. | |

| Climbed with Machelle. Easy lead on good rock. A fun route but seemed sliffer than rated on the traverse to top of second pitch. | |

| This was my first multi-pitch rock climb and part of my 13-day mountaineering course. I had a blast! It was a great route for us beginners! Very satisfied with the climb. | |

| Climbed Saber in the evening, fun route, although it felt alot harder than 5.5. Maybe we were off route. Either way it was a great climb. | |

| A beautiful day!! Cold morning, but day was clear and the rock was warm by the 1st pitch of midway. tricky 1st pitch (face/chimney, jogged up the next 2 pitches of friction. good stuff! There's a hueco big enough to bivy in midway up the third pitch. Incredible view of the river!!! Great place to hang out at the top. | |

| June 2008: Crack Of Doom. Probably screwed up near top of P1 & eneded up on "hard" terrain. April 2006: Damnation Crack. I should've brought a #5 Camalot to make the upper half less stressful. Though not very hard, the flaring chimney up top is not trivial either. Nice route. Angel Crack. Got 1st pitch of it clean. Nice 5.7 (per Beckey ;) 2004 Midway. 2X, with 2nd time being when took my little brother for his second "multi" pitch (well, 2-pitch) climb. Saints. 5.8-5.8+ Very nice. (June '04) Canary. 5.8-5.9 Outstanding. (May '04) Fault/Catapult. 5.6/5.8 Very nice. Got rained off on Logger's Ledge (June '04) | |

| Fault/Catapult - 2X - Great climb up lower Castle Rock. Love that Catapult pitch. (5/1/04 and 3/6/05) Canary - The first pitch is weird, the climbing is all over the place. Hard for an 8. Did not like it, good pro though. The second pitch is fun, stepping out unto the arete is intimidating, but the climbing is easy. (3/6/05) Angel Crack - 2X Ass Whooping - Tried it again on 3/6/05, and fell at the same section as on 5/1/04. Your feet are so insecure, since it is so polished and slick. A huge sandbag at 5.10A. Midway - Great climb. Pretty classic for a 3 pitch mid 5th class route. (5/1/04). Saber - Very nice climb, a classic for the grade. With Mishell (5-28-05). | |

| Two very fun routes in a quick afternoon of climbing. Climbed part of the Midway direct but ended up traversing back onto Midway. Finished it off by climbing Saber. | |

| Climbed with jtschanz this fun 3-pitch rock. I don't know how Jim squeezed through the chimney on the second pitch but I almost got myself stuck in it. It was nice to be on dry and warm rock after two days of cold up at Colchuck Peak. | |
