Arrest and/or hefty fines are likely if caught rock climbing with ropes and gear in the BLM land.
Please respect this closure to ensure access to the open climbing at Castle Rocks is not threatened.

Description
A fun jaunt up very featured granite, with good protection through all but the first fifteen feet or so.
Start on a flat-ish spot below the large boulder on the slope at the base of the wall, and climb up through some hard-or-impossible-to-protect terrain. Eventually you'll reach a spot where a hand-size cam will fit (eg., #2 C4). From here go straight up through to a crack and from there to a small roof.
Head up the crack on the right side of the roof to a small overhang between two blocks, the left-most of which looks rounded and vaguely puffy. Surmount the steepness and head up the crack to the chain anchors.
