Super Natural
Three new routes still! Every time I think I have all the towers climbed in SW Utah, I find a few obscure ones to add. Great trip with Casey. Super Natural is as good a route as any of the more popular classic routes at Castle Valley, i.e. Jah Man. The first pitch direct (Spirit World) is by far the crux climbing offering up a great wide splitter. The other three pitches all have something to add. You will most assuredly have the wall to yourself, which in 2017, is saying something for Castle Valley. Abbey was so spot on in the 60's. Instead we as a society took that other direction and exploit absolutely everything, particularly climbing and our National Parks and Moab reflects that trend today as much as Boulder.
