Summary

Shirley topping out on the Catapult...this is Loggers Ledge on Castle Rock (June 2004).

A day outing to Leavenworth in mid June of 2004. Shirley & I climbed up The Fault (5.6) pitch on Lower Castle Rock followed by two nice pitches called Catapult (5.8) to Logger’s Ledge. This is where the rain started and we hiked off. Decent climbing, especially on the first pitch of Catapult. The Bone (5.9) next door looked kind of cool.
