Here's a picture we took of David's Castle Buttress as we were leaving after climbing Ooga Chocka.

the crux is the hardest part and still relatively easy. warm up climb if you're actively climbing.

This may be the best picture to date! I'm rapping down, going to start cleaning the Nose. This is the second picture I've submitted, both of me on route entitled The Nose. There's a big blank runout on this, so cleaning is a breeze. Thanks to Casey for getting this picture (and the rest for the day)!

This is me chalking up on one of the best climbs at David's Castle (Nuclear Cottage Cheese 5.9+) on Crowders Mountain, NC 20030531.

This is me rappelling down for a day of climbing on David's Castle at Crowder Mountain, NC.

This is a shot of me as I peeled off Overhand Direct at Crowder's Mtn (a 5.8) The beginning of a 30+ footer due to gear pulling/rock breaking.

Picture of myself about to top out on The Nose (5.5) Nice day for climbing but once the sun moved off of us the rock was like climbing ice

Me up at crowders

just a cool picture of the view. one of the reasons to be there, right? Photo by cliffhanger2040

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.

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.

Ooga Chocka

5.8 crack at Crowder's Mountain. Normally TR'ed, but a fun lead.

Alberto leading Ooga Chocka. This was his first lead since breaking his ankle about 1 1/2 years ago.
