Basic Rock Climbing School Graduation Day
A couple weeks ago, we took Shawn and Jack up Stairway to Heaven, for their Basic Rock School Graduation Climb. Now it was Stacey, JJ, and Sean’s turn for their graduation climb. Mike decided we should go to Castle Rock in Boulder Canyon as the West Face would be a fun route for all. It’s 2 pitches to the top of the formation and a couple of rappels down. From the top, there are really awesome views of the canyon and Boulder creek.
