Access Issue: Falcon Nesting Closure at Castle Rock
Details
Castle Rock in Pine Canyon is closed for peregrine falcon nesting season, from February 1 through July 31st every year. All other Mount Diablo area crags are open to climbing. The news release is linked here parks.ca.gov/NewsRelease/493.
Description
This route is found on the middle of the rock just right of the very large boulder sitting in bottom of the obvious crack system. The 8 bolts are clearly visible all the way to the top. IF the bolts are good, (hard to tell how the integrity is in this soft sandstone), this route is well protected. The rock is very loose and crumbly and basically you could come off at any time. The trick to succeed on this route is NOT use the obvious larger holds but carefully select holds that are not flakes, not big, and whatever you do, don't pull on anything harder than you have to. And be light on your feet! Somehow, succeeding on this route is very rewarding in a strange way...
