Castleton Tower!


We got off pretty late from Ancient art and found this little place to camp in the dark. It was pretty cool to wake up in the shadow of Castleton.


I might add the approach was quite the haul...
We climbed the Kor-Ingalls Route which is the big shadowy crack system up the middle of this photo.
Me all geared up for the first pitch.
Dan atop the first pitch racking up for the second pitch.

A quick photo before I headed up the third pitch. I might admit I was a bit nervous due to the unforeseeable protection. However the pro was good. The third was a blast, fun climbing. Awkward and bizarre climbing but in hindsight it was pretty cool.
