Climbing Castleton Tower, "North Chimney" Pitch 1, Castle Valley, UT

Climbed Castleton Tower in the heat of July where the high temp in Moab for the day was 101F. We started the approach at 4:45am, were climbing around 6, and summited before 9am before the heat of the day. The 1st pitch, the beginning of the 2nd, and the topout were in the sun.

Nice how does the 5.9 compare to the 5.9s on Wall Street for example?

Its pretty comparable honestly. Just heady because the crux is unprotected.
