On Saturday, Stan, Jen, Max, and I went in search of The Citadel. It seemed this area had a variety of climbs, with a mixture of styles. We decided to give it a shot.
We found the parking lot okay, and off we went down the trail.
After around 10-15 minutes of walking, Jen & Max made a bee-line for a crag, charging uphill toward a pile of rocks. In the book, it says, “at 0.5 miles Mechanical Transmission Crag is visible on the North”, which appeared to be where they were headed.
I figured it was not the Citadel because the Citadel was supposed to be about a mile from the car pull-out. I just knew we hadn’t walked a mile. So, Stan & I headed uphill to bring them back to the trail, and then we all walked for another 30 minutes down the trail.
At this point, we think we spotted the crag to our north. Did we? (more…)
