Idiot's Journey

Description

This is one of many variations leading up the lower Castle Rock wall connecting Amy Carter to Idiots Delight. There are many long lost climbs on Castle, where one runs into ancient pitons. I think this is unclimbed, loose, dirty and lots of plant life, Cleaner now, and pretty fun moves, RFC, hand jams, stemming, pull through steep corner up to ledge with 2) 1/4" bolts and leeper hangers

Location

This route could be a 2nd pitch of Amy Carter or Flying Frog on the far right end of Lower Castle Rock. If you continue past Amy Carter, pass a maple tree, bolt anchor and blocky ledge( this is where you would go up onto the slab for Idiots Delight, hard to protect), drop down right into RFC, go up steep corner. The Fault goes further right up lower angle slab and arching undercling crack.

Protection

Standard rack, save #2 and 3 for the top out.

Good cracks for gear near the old bolts. But watch out for the block directly right of the bolts, it is loose, cracks above it are good.
