Ascent Notes for: The South Face (of Jello Tower), Upper Castle Rock - 5.8 Average Rating : 4.57/5

Probably 5.9.

Everyone seems to agree - a stiff 5.8, if not more appropriately a 5.9. Great route that protects well, and while steep and overhanging at times, there are great positive holds. Belay bolts are up on top - shared with Midway (and most every route on Jell-O Tower)

One of my friends called this route "one of the world's most difficult 5.8s" - It was legitimately a tough lead for me, but super fun once figuring out the sequence off the deck. Nice a steep, but not terribly overhung.

Great moderate line up an imposing face. Plenty of gear and jugs!

Was a great climb to end the day! More than once the gravity god tried to pull.

Good route. Led it then set up a gear anchor to TR the nose.

this is a great route with solid pro. Big jugs and some solid finger locks to the top of Jello Tower.
Short but sweet.
