 Print a Mini-Guide - Includes Routes!DescriptionGood local crag for a quick winter pump. Crag faces due southwest, high on a hillside and bakes all afternoon. Best time to climb there is winter. Getting ThereDrive 4 miles up Frying Pan Road from Basalt and Park in the large lot on your right just after crossing the Taylor Creek bridge. Walk back across the bridge and up the road that goes towards the cliffs. After several minutes, the road will veer left at a grassy area. Cross the creek and pick up a trail on the opposite side that parallels the road, heading up the valley. Follow this for a ways until you come to a game/ hiking trail on the left. If you come to a power line tower in field you have walked too far. Make a left, angling back north under the nose of the center castle. The crag sits around on the southwest side. Please respect home owners on the approach. The ClassicsMountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Seven Castles:
