Access Issue: Falcon Nesting Closure at Castle Rock
Details
Castle Rock in Pine Canyon is 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
Bridge of Sighs to the top of Mammoth rock.
There are two starts to this climb. The left start (Africanized 5.11b) climbs an overhung traverse out of the cave with a thrilling run out to join the bolted line.
The right start is easier and gives an over all grade 5.10c Expect some moderate run outs and hollow, fragile rock throughout.
Could be done in one 60 meters pitch.
Or you can break it in two 27 meters pitches by using bolted anchors station in the cave.
Bolts and chains are camouflaged.
Run out portion on second pitch is on SUPER easy 5.6. All the 5.10 moves are well-protected. On top of second pitch belay from the hole and walk off to descend.
