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

A short route but very fun. It is slightly overhanging with good holds to pull on. Definitely worth doing.

Location

This route is on the smaller northwest face of Mt. Doom. Walk right of the top of the crag through a narrow corridor and through some bushes to access the base of the route. No lead bolts on this face and not much for natural pro.
