Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure February 1-July 31st
Details
Castle Rock in Pine Canyon is closed for peregrine falcon nesting season, from February 1 through July 31st. All other Mount Diablo area crags are open to climbing. The news release is linked hereparks.ca.gov/NewsRelease/493.
Description
This route might change a lot over time once most of the loose holds pull off, but for now still had some fun movement and is really easy to setup a top rope on!
There is a big ledge right in the middle of the route that has a ton of loose rock, so be extra careful not to knock rocks down onto anyone below.
Location
Near the south western tip of the main Castle Rock formation. Look for the thick rock bar that you will use to create your top rope anchor.
Protection
Some long cord or slings to wrap around the convenient “bar” of rock.
