Description Suggest change

This page includes the traditional routes to the left of Gargoyle Wall on the broad north face of Castle Rock. These are adventurous multi-pitch outings with mixed rock quality that happen to be easily accessed from the Village of Oak Creek. Expect all-day shade except for most of the year.

There are currently two established routes plus a smattering of bail anchors spread across the face.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the standard approach to Castle Rock. There is a social trail that runs along the base of the north face, allowing relatively easy access to the routes.
