Access Issue: Partial seasonal raptor closure Details

This area is known for seasonal falcon nesting.

While signs are posted in the area, do not hike or climb routes that near the top of the crag. This includes any multipitch route, most of Armory Wall, and may include Village Wall, The Torture Chamber, and North Castle.

If you see a raptor diving or hear loud bird calls, you may be too close to the nest; please go somewhere else to climb. Disruption of falcons may keep them from nesting and could result in seasonal closure of the climbing area.

Description

Isolated from most of the climbing at Castle Rock, Rapunzel's Hair 5.7 feels more like a 5.9, is private, and only a stone's throw from a summit vista. The view at the top of Rapunzel faces West toward the lake and is breathtaking.

Getting There

To find Rapunzel's Hair 5.7 go North at a trail marker on a rock just after the Castle Gates. The trail wanders unnecessarily between two large boulders. From here, hike the trail in the general direction of the North West end of Castle Rock until the lake is in view and you come around to a rocky gully that can be scrambled to the summit. Look for bolts! Rapunzel's Hair 5.7 can be found on the Left side of this gully.
