You’ve made it to the top of Castleton Tower. Now all you have to do is … get down.

Grand County Search and Rescue’s Technical Rope Rescue Team prepares for a helicopter dropoff 300 feet high in near total darkness. We hear firsthand why Castleton Tower is such an iconic climb … and such a Search and Rescue hotspot.
