Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK CLOSURES; The sandstone around Castle Rock is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet.
Details
WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged (like Donkey Dong and countless others) due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB AT CASTLE ROCK during or after rain.
Access Issue: Trails are closed from sunset to 6:00 am.

Description
Low start with hands on the long undercling rail and pull hard to get your feet smeared somewhere. Make a big, burly move or two that will contort yourself, dubiously, into the stand start.
From the stand start (a hueco/hole with juggy pinches jetting out) go up through an insecure-feeling sloper (a cool hold that seems more necessary after a recent break) to top out over the ledge with some pretty good holds.
First move can also be done as a dyno.
Location
This is a white granite-colored cave Boulder facing the trail and it is connected to Billy Goat Rock (between Last Temptation Cliff and Goat Rock) - it is on the right if walking towards Goat Rock.
