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
"Boromir" is 30' right of "Bridge of Sighs" and ascends a steep face with a thin diagonal crack. Technical face climbing with three cruxes, characterized by thin, precise foot-work yet also by dynamic, technical movement in spots.
Location
West face of Mammoth Rock. As you approach the base of Mammoth, "Proboscis" is the first major line, which starts on the right edge of a small cave. Fifty feet further up-hill is "Bridge of Sighs", which is characterized by two "blobs" in the first 25 feet. Then comes "Boromir", described above.
