Castle Rocks .. Back Towers..Gargolye Route. Original Beta

South Face Route 5.8 Moro Rock Pictorial





Getting on the First Pitch of the South Face route

First Pitch is awkward for sure...changing cracks
 

Finishing off the fairly easy 2nd pitch

A little runout face to the headwall and belay
 

The Boulder Problem to get you to Jungle Ledge...this is optional but makes things easier ..pic by Daniel Jeffcoach
 

Great Views on the Jungle Ledge and a good place for lunch

Belay below the Knob face and upper Crux
 

Working up knobs...tie offs are good here
 

Upper Crux
 

Top of the upper Crux pitch looking down on Jungle Ledge
 

Changing gear below the runout face pitch.....the only 2 bolts on the whole climb
 

working out the moves on the runout face
 

Wet, tired, hungry...after an adventurous early season ascent
