johonas on toprope. a classic climb @ crowders

After a sport ascent, I setup a top-rope for the next climber

This is Chad working the the wall just to the right of the Gastonia Crack.

Todd (Bulldog) working the overhang on Stupid Roof (just toproping). I don't think it would be rated a 5.10 except that the rock shreads your hands.

Located smack dab in the middle of David's Castle wall is this obvious chimney. A great 5.7 climb - either trad with easy gear placements, or set up your toprope in the cave at the top.

This picture gives a pretty good overview of the climbs on the Castle. From right to left you've got the Stupid Rood (5.10, on the corner), then Ooga Chocka is the obvious crack (5.8), then the Dish (a nice 5.9R) followed by Overhand Direct (5.8).

This is Robin working the flake on The Dish (5.9R) running down the middle of David's Castle.

crowders hardest climb, chopped bolts, blank face

Attempting my first 5.9 on The Red Wall - The Opinionated at Crowder's Mtn. in Gastonia, NC I'm a big wuss! I could've made this climb! I mentally freaked and begged to be lowered.
