Access Issue: Falcon Nesting Closure at Castle Rock Details

Castle Rock in Pine Canyon and the Wanna Get Away areas are closed for peregrine falcon nesting season, from February 1 through July 31st every year. All other Mount Diablo area crags are open to climbing. The news release is linked here parks.ca.gov/NewsRelease/493.

Description

The only goofy looking crack on the whole face. Climb the diagnoal crack, which is unlike many cracks in that it is comprised of little subpockets within the crack, so you can actally pinch things inside of the crack in addition to jamming.

On a top rope, you will take a substantial swing if you fall on the top portion of this climb, but there's nothing to hit in the swing, except for other climbers.

Protection

Most people top-rope this route, but if you're insane, cams and nuts up to 3". If you do lead it, there are three glue-in bolts that will take you to the anchors for Godzilla, which you can lower off from.
