Our first visit to Moab happened over an extended Christmas weekend in 2004. I recall carefully studying the beta and wondering if we had it in us to climb the Kor-Ingalls route on Castleton Tower. With many doubts in our heads, we gave Castleton a go and have not been the same since. The tower bug was firmly planted! We’ve made a few more trips back to the area and hope to make many more! Somwhere along this journey, we met Brad (& a few of his crew) whose website has been (and continues to be) a huge inspiration to us!
