Access Issue: This great North County Crag is located on the boundary of partial lots for sale, private property and public land. Details

Due to its location Old Castle Crag is around private lots of land primarily old avocado groves. As of now current land managers have no issues with access to this Crag. Respect land owners keep a low profile and most importantly clean up any trash, you pack out what you pack in. Thanks and Enjoy.

Description

Welcome to the main event of pebble wresting at Old Castle. Here lies the infamous and local urban legend of a boulder "The Steve McQueen Boulder".
Not quite sure of the Historical significance of this title. None the less the McQueen Cirque is home of some of the more popular and concentrated problems that exist on this hillside. Problems range in difficulty from V0-V11!!!

Getting There

From Roadside Cirque head up social trail 100 yards to start of Hillside Cirque. From here the McQueen Cirque is visible up hill to your right, (northeast). Follow distinct climbers trail another 100 yards right and you have arrived. The McQueen Boulder is the large rectangular block just above the Indian Cave Boulder.
