So weird to see these pics... Too many moons ago I spent every free moment here with Blanchard (Real Blinny), Yabo and a cast of other ne'erdowells. Good times. Next time I am in the Bay Area I will stop by and have some fun just like the old days!

Because some people aren't as badass as you? Have you ever soloed the routes in question?
EDIT: Do you know which 'pussies' put those routes up and felt a need to put bolts in????

It's Castle Rock, Why TF do you care?
Oh and WEs- You should just boulder that 5.11 route with ALL of the bolts. Then you can down climb the grainy 5.10 "slab".
There are many atrocities at CRSP, this is not one of them.

So i finally sent that 5.10b monstrosity on the back side of Mt Doom. Holy shit! That rig is sustained and hard! Harder than some .11's out there.
Medusa would be proud of me.....
Those ratings on those routes on that rock are REAL.

it was Bridwell's rope that made the difference,
quit trying to steal the Bird's thunder.
too bad you didn't get to try out the cushy spring like action of sprocks new anchor system,
it was a clean send, we didn't even pull on the rop that hard.

I'm late to this thread, and just read about the individual handcuffed and placed inside a vehicle w/o actually being arrested, for pushing a bicycle!!
Legally, that's WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT, a felony in most states. That calls for a visit to the appropriate prosecuting attorney and the filing of charges.

You mean this one? 4 or 5 bolts, something like that, if i recall correctly. According to this picture's date I did that one in 2008...wow, that seems so long ago...
The 5.7 (? I think) on the other side was fun. I remember a threaded sling to protect about 3/4 up. Pulling the roof move kinda freaked me out at the time but ended up being casual once all was said and done.
Pretty big raptors flying around that day too. All in all an awesome day. Thanks for reminding me...
climb safe

Thanks Sprock. After you said that I looked in the guide and saw that I was mistaken. I lead the .10a route, not the .10b route. Looks like the .10b route is a top rope on the other side, as you mentioned.
Good climbing there. Good on you blue-y for sending the route. I remember looking at the line and thinking it looked pretty hard.
