Hey Simon
Minor correction on your narrative about the shirt in your website...
CRS and The Fin are NOT in between Kings Canyon and Yosemite. Thought I'd nit pick ya! Ha!

HAAAAA!!! Goodin' Kris!
You know, I've gone on trips in the mountains with guys who navigate like that.
The worst is when you're with someone with a gps and no common sense. They'll insist on going "that way," regardless of the terrain because, well, the unit says it's "that way..."
I didn't need no stinkin' gps to go in to the Spire, climb it free and get out alive first try. Okay, that's full on unadulterated spray but it's true. And what's the internet for anyway?
Eddie, I think he's at that Woodson shindig right now. I emailed him too and he said they are at the printer will ship soon...

Reilly,
You're a Cascades guy right? The CRS approach is cake for you. Even here in California there are many areas with much harder approaches both logistically and in terms of grunt factor.
Juss' sayin'...

ec... You should have a letter... I sent you one recently. I am busting my nut trying to get these and Bridwell and Woodson done. Not to mention 1,000,000 Yabo shirts! Anyway, hang tight... I am picking up shirts tomorrow and more on Friday. Hopefully the CRS will be there.
Mooch... Nice catch on the location of CRS... I will fix that. Guess it's been way too many years. I hope to get some nice winter pics of CRS/Fin next week.

THINGS IN YOUR MIRROR ARE NOT AS CLOSE AS THEY SEEM...
I just wish there was more rock and less climbers up there...

More early history on The Spire. From the Sierra Club Bulletin 1951 written by Philip Bettler on the first acent of Castle Rock Spire.

Cool article, David. Epic 6.5 hour lead on aid pitons by Will Siri! This is apparently the original way on p7 on Bruce's topo:
I wonder who found the 5.8 bypass variation on p7?
Maybe Powell and Wilson, when they cut the time down from 12 hours to 5.5 hours in 1955?

Here's my attempt to summarize ascents and attempts on Castle Rock Spire, based on info posted to this thread and other references. If people know of other ascents or have other photos of the summit register, this could be updated.
[list was edited; same list is on next page]

Clint--nice work on a time line of ascents of Castle Rock Spire.
The only other ascent I know of is one made in 4-28-07 by Torey Ivanic, Jason Ivanic, and Daniel Moor.
