Rockcastle Bouldering

The directions and topo for existing problems were recently released for a new bouldering spot in Central Kentucky called Rockcastle. Yesterday Sam and I made the hour and 45 minute journey out there to check it out!

The weather was perfect and we had equal proportions of exploring, climbing, and beer to make for an awesome day.
Impressions of Rockcastle:
Rock Quality - some as good as 4/5 but lots of really chossy flake systems on the roofs. There is plenty of good rock waiting to be cleaned and climbed, and almost all of it tops out. For some reason most of the development has been concentrated on roofs, and the aformentioned loose flakes...

Potential - the best and most expansive bouldering I've seen in Kentucky. Could continue to grow and be a quality playground for Kentucky boulderers, but I cant imagine it becoming a "destination".

Problems:

Main Side

Me on "Waiting Room", V4
Quick send but super fun and committing throw to the top!



Sam battling "Red Line", V3, on Boulder 1
Quality rock with fun moves, starts WAY low under the roof.

Other Side

"Gopher It", V4 FA *****
