Cast in Stone is a Two pitch climb (see Negativity Slabs Area for a description of first pitch) To get to the start of the second pitch of this climb, climb the first pitch of "Cast In Stone" (See Beta Photo #4) When you get to the top of the first pitch you will arrive at a bench area that is at the base of Negativity Cave. Move to the left side of Negativity cave.  Move up to the first bolt and traverse left past the fixed draw.  There is a bolt with a chain protecting the move over the lip. Climb to the next bolt then down climb to lip bolt and remove draw to reduce rope drag.  Although only 5.8, climb has great exposure and a few tricky moves up top.

Up the obvious nose in the middle left of the shallow cave. Crux at the top of the cave.
