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
Climb up a moss covered slab on very thin, almost non existent features until the angle backs off just before the anchors.
Location
Around the corner to the left of In the Buckets. A couple old routes go up this face which are now covered in moss.
Protection
Top-rope only. The anchors are set a ways back from the edge: about 10-15' of material is needed to adequately extend a master point beyond the lip.
[Hide Photo] Pick your own adventure up this mossy, somewhat crumbly slab. Jungle Book is around the corner to the right.
