California > San Francisco B… > S Bay Area > Castle Rock Area > Castle Rock Ar… > Castle Rock Loop > Magoos > Dog Dish Boulders

Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK CLOSURES; The sandstone around Castle Rock is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged (like Donkey Dong and countless others) due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB AT CASTLE ROCK during or after rain.

Access Issue: Trails are closed from sunset to 6:00 am. Details

Trails close at sunset. Give yourself enough time to be back at your vehicle (or campsite if you're staying at one) before dark, or the rangers will fine you.

Always visit the Castle Rock State Park website parks.ca.gov/?page_id=538 for fairly current official information.

Description

The second pocket of this problem is SOOO polished. I remember when it wasn't that way.... too much brushing I guess. Nov 24, 2014

The fight against the slippery grime takes away from the climb, however you can still tell why it's a classic. Video: youtu.be/6UZY9yjOABQ Oct 9, 2020

This was my first V5 way back when. Feels like a boulder problem, just a couple of hard moves and you're at the top. Really fun. Dec 8, 2020

Very good problem.
Top is a little big bad, try left would be easier. Jun 19, 2022

The holds have smoothed out quite a bit, I'd really argue it feels V6. Nov 24, 2022
