Szyjakowski Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 Castle rock. the best crack in my little humble opinion. 9+ gear to 5-6" but you need tcus too. hand jams, chimney moves, fist jams even a finger lock or two. love it in the morn before the sun hits it.... then a quick dip in the tumwater... what a day!!!!!!!!!!!!

TimL Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 gear to 3 maybe 3.5 for the fist crack leading to chimney, then small TCUs. Wasn't it rated 5.8 in the older 11worth guidebook? I've always thought it was a super good 5.8! Â Awesome route, its one I try to do a least once a year. Quote
Szyjakowski Posted July 18, 2004 Author Posted July 18, 2004 yeah maybe 5.8 g for grease. the fat cam is nice to get up to the tcus... Quote

eric8 Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 smoot gives it a 5.8 too but he may have just been copying the older guide book grade. Felt like a nine to me. Kinda scary coming off that half way ledge even Quote
Szyjakowski Posted July 19, 2004 Author Posted July 19, 2004 9 cuz the climbers who bolted ddd removed some fixed hardware (bolts and pitons from the FA) on the nearby crack system which is old skewl 5.8. Quote
gnibmilc Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 Grease? you want to squeak about grease? get on Angel next door! Got to agree Damnation is one of the best around here in that 5.8 to .9 range. Quote
Szyjakowski Posted July 19, 2004 Author Posted July 19, 2004 gnibmilc-i have done angel a few times... the start to damn is somewhat slick, especially in the nice humid weather ltown had this past weekend. Â dick hows the weather in europe? Â Quote
gnibmilc Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 i know. i'm just a little chapped about falling off angel several times last weekend. i curse the slippery angel. Quote
