Red Castle (Utah)

[Scott Patterson]

Is anyone else bummed that jkirk burst everyone's bubble by finding a non-technical route up Red Castle? This takes the highest ranked 5th class peak in Utah (by way of the easiest route) way down to 9585 feet, though I guess Devils Castle straddles a fine line between class 4 and 5.

For what it's worth we ended up at all the rappel anchors of the reported 5.6 route on the way down, so we didn't really find a non-technical route, it just was non-technical to begin with.
