Amanda's First Outdoor Lead / Castle Rock; South Lake Tahoe, CA 8/25

Late summer 2019 Amanda and I hiked out to Castle Rock above South Lake Tahoe.  We had never been here and our only directions were on Mountain Project so naturally we got a little lost.  After some hiking we made it to the base of the Armory Wall and I lead a gentle slab the name of which I didn't know.  It was super cool, Crossbow, 5.4 13 bolts about 100FT tall.  Amanda decided to lead it after me and I was super proud of her taking that step.  I believe we were on Crossbow.  After Crossbow we moved over one climb to do Catapult, 5.6 100FT.  By the time we finished it was getting pretty hot and it was about 1PM so we packed up and started hiking out.  We walked past a bunch of 5.6 - 10- climbs that were all really well bolted and looked super fun!  We cannot wait to come back this fall when the weather is just a little cooler.
