    Castleton Tower is the most epic and memorable climb of my 12yrs of active climbing.
    I wish they had showed some video of the desent. It was scary. Rocks like ball-bearings on a big slope. Falling there would bust you up

    Crazy! The views are awesome. We have shot video in that valley and will be going back as it is one of the most beautiful views around. Live in Montrose, Colorado so we're very familiar with the entire area. Climbing isn't for us older folks, but we're still seeking adventure and capturing the footage we can get. Hiked Fisher Towers and run Onion Creek. We'll get drone footage as that is as close as we'll get to the top of those tower. Great video and thanks for sharing! 😄😄😄😄😄

    • @codyandvictoria
      @codyandvictoria  8 місяців тому

      Hey! Very common question so we're gonna answer it! The first person up puts the gear in, the second person takes it out. Rinse and repeat until you get to the top. At the top there's permanent "bolts" that you lower off of so you don't have to leave anything behind.
      Thanks for watching and asking! We appreciate you being here 🙏🏼

    So, this climb has been rated 5.9+ since it was first climbed, and has by community consensus of subsequent climbers over the next few years, maintained that rating.
    But this guy's telling someone the Cruz is 5.20b. Get a clue

    • @thelawenforcementproject2705
      @thelawenforcementproject2705 7 місяців тому

    • @codyandvictoria
      @codyandvictoria  7 місяців тому

      Often times climbs, especially in the 5.9 range are much harder than the typical 5.9 rating. So yeah - it’s “5.9+” but anybody who has actually climbed it would tell you it’s definitely harder than 5.9. This is why they call it “old school”. Meaning it’s actually harder. Go climb it and tell us what you think

      @@codyandvictoria no, they are not, not the classics. That climb is 5.9+. You are aiding in the degradation of the established and functioning grading system by claiming a classic climb such as this is graded harder than it actually is. In your video you alluded to your inexperience at climbing at that level.
      Do you really believe you are competent to make such a claim ?
      As opposed to, damn that was hard, so that's what 5.9+ climbing is

    • @codyandvictoria
      @codyandvictoria  19 днів тому

      The only shot I can find is at 6:39 and you can’t really tell one way or another from that clip from what I could see. Might be confusing with the clove hitch there. But I’m gonna say no it’s not backwards - someone would have noticed
      Edit: found it at 6:52. I see what you’re seeing! So Victoria is holding both ends of the grigri strand. The strand coming out of the bottom is the opposite side of her clove hitch going down to the pile on the ground. Definitely a strange illusion
