Shaking out on Beta Slave

Most of the cimbing at Castlewood may be lame, but if you can find anything with four or more bolts, get on it--it's probably a sport climbing classic. Beta Slave proved to make me just that... I only had to downclimb from the crux about four times before I nailed the sequence. Oooh, the pebbles and pockets I pulled on... Photo by Laramie Duncan.
