Description

The leftmost formation at the Nursery, the Castle currently has two very safe routes bolted with new climbers in mind. More routes will be added soon and will likely be much harder.

As with the rest of the Nursery, if you prefer to toprope you can hike up to the top of the formation and access some of the anchors from there. There is a main anchor you can use for extra safety to set up anchors on each of the climbs.

Getting There

As you approach the Nursery, just before you reach Rapunzel's Tower there is a trail heading left (west) off the main approach trail. Follow this to get to the Castle.
