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
Climb the cool patina features tucked behind the tree up to the second bolt, then take a hard right and traverse past a couple more bolts keeping them at or above shoulder level until it's reasonable to head straight up again. Continue angling upward to the right up the featured slab, with gear placements available off to the left in the corner. Higher on the slab you'll find a thin crack with more options for gear before reaching the chains. Due to the traversing nature of the route, probably best to have a second clean the route.
