Access Issue: This great North County Crag is located on the boundary of partial lots for sale, private property and public land. Details

Due to its location Old Castle Crag is around private lots of land primarily old avocado groves. As of now current land managers have no issues with access to this Crag. Respect land owners keep a low profile and most importantly clean up any trash, you pack out what you pack in. Thanks and Enjoy.

Description

Samsara Roof is the classic Old Castle roof crack test piece.
Boulder problem off of central ledge gets you into this stellar overhanging finger crack. The crux is definitely pulling the lip of roof but another ankle busting crux occurs after roof, pulling into Conception.
