Late October Amanda and I made a day trip out to Castle Rock above South Lake Tahoe to climb on some super stellar volcanic sport routes. This was just before our trip to San Diego for the employee exchange program at Mesa Rim, so I wanted to have a good time and avoid any knee pain/over use. We got to the base around 11AM, temps were comfortable, no snow, routes were in the sun. We both onsighted a 90FT 5.8, 9Bolts, called Pillage the Village. The beginning is probably more of 5.6, with some class 5 towards the middle, and a vertical 5.8 finish that you can make harder if you don't have the right beta. Amanda flashed the route as well. Next we walked around the corner to a shorter 30FT 5.8, called Space Pants. The movement on this climb was actually really good, big reaches to good holds, and some tufa like holds. Space Pants can actually be combined into a chill two pitch climb because it tops out at the base of a couple other routes that make up the Armory Wall. After a day of sport climbing we returned home to promptly collapse on our bed.
