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.
Details
Trails close at sunset. Give yourself enough time to be back at your vehicle (or campsite if you're staying at one) before dark, or the rangers will fine you.
Always visit the Castle Rock State Park website parks.ca.gov/?page_id=538 for fairly current official information.

Description
Start low on sloping jugs on the arete and climb upwards. While all the holds are positive, a fall could range from uncomfortable to deadly. There is a small platform, but if you hit the left ramp and it sends you off to the right (30 foot cliff) the climb is more X than R. That being said, the climbing is controlled and doable, just make sure you go in with a big margin on the grade. And don't break a hold.
You can easily step off onto the ramp if the positions feel too sketchy for you, but again, don't fall on this one.
