Climbs amazing face features to a small roof, into a beautiful exposed, shallow left facing dihedral. Crux is probably pulling the roof into the dihedral.

The Dharma Dihedral

Bemo's Corner

The Transmigration Corner

Light Karma

Dark Karma Variation

Bemo's Corner is a great adventure climb for the area. It climbs the left most margin of the Dihedral Wall that separates all of the Main Wall from all of the Wild West.

It is characterized by tunneling through an awesome cave to start which brings you into a series of splitter dihedral corners. Due to its winding nature it is best to break into two pitches.  It is one of a few multi pitch routes that exist here but can be climbed in one long rope stretching pitch.

The Transmigration Dihedral is probably the second largest and most obvious feature at Old Castle Crag. As you climb you will transcend up the large left facing open book that is visibly seen from the road. This was the very first climb I ever did at this cliff. Originally I always felt it was 5.10 but once you have figured out the sequence and let go, it is only 5.9!!!

Proud geometric arête. Climb varied steep facial features, up to the magnificent orange pillar headwall. Crux comes high while climbing the steep and improbable, barn door, arête, on the left side of headwall.

Dark karma is the alternate thin face finish to Light Karma, which avoids climbing the Arête and climb straight up the middle of the orange pillar headwall. Thin, core, dime edge crimping, vertical madness!
