The bush whacking to darth Vader is only mandatory if you go the wrong way :)

Also, 5.11 is harder than 5.10a, at least at the gym.

Speaking of gym, you should be here already. I'm tired of "warming up" on the bouldering wall by this guy working on the v10. I bet he can't climb cracks :/

It's all subjective and route finding/strength depending. One thing for certain is that nothing on CRS is easy and the Castle Rocks are bad ass formations!

Where's Clint when I need him! Wonder if Send and Richard got the 40th ascent.

So the underwear in the summit register belongs to Rachel? Should find her on Facebook and ask for a trip report, likely more fun than usual. ;)

Lol, Daniel injury on return hike/crawl. That brings back some memories!

Love your record keeping Clint, selfless service to us all. Thank you!

Impressive Vit and Richard !

So 40 ascents in 67 years for the CRS ?

Less than 20 (?) for the Silver Lining

These formations bring back some memories, for sure.

Great to see how (now routinely) both the CRS and The Fin get done on two day weekend. We were so concerned with the approach BITD, we carried two sets of clothes, crampons and ice axe. The 60' run-outs and rather infrequent 1/4" bolts didn't help much either.

Fabulous back country climbing, (IMO) some of the best on the West side.

Congrats guys,

Alois.

If they are ladies panties I also wouldn't rule out the option that they might belong to Limpingcrab.

Not my seeds! LOL....Clint....There was an ascent by Brandon Thau and Derek Bumholt of Silver Lining in 2004, I think it was in April I'll check my records. We went in as a team of 4 and 2 of us had some serious issues and so they went up.

Thanks Del Cross, My computer dumped and I can't access the pics right now.....though they are backed up. I noticed some ascents of Silver Lining so I thought I'd post up.

Hey Kris or Guyzo.......weren't those panties in the register when you guys did the Regular Route. I thought you guys told me they were there. Or Rachael placed them herself. That would obviously be before the FA of Spike Hairdo.

I can say with certainty that there were no panties in a bunch when I was up there in 1990.
