Castle Rock, Dreadful Direct Route. This new route completed on September 14 by Pat Callis and me begins on Loggers Ledge between the Angel Crack and Damnation Chimney. From there it continues in a straight line to the top, starting off with 150 feet of direct aid climbing and then decreasing to Class 5 and then Class 4. Three ?? Phillips concrete anchors were placed, and a hanging belay from a bolt was required at 120 feet.
