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
Bolted route right from Peregrine.
Two bolt-protected slightly run out pitches in a great setting with fragile holds. Bolts locations make for some difficult and spicy clips. Belay on the top (of second pitch) from a big hole and walk off on descend.
First pitch:
Move to the left from second bolt is super cool- a lot of air under and great holds.
60 meters rope is enough for top-roping the first (most fun) pitch.
Could be done in one 58-meters pitch with 12+ quick-draws.
Second pitch:
Rock is fragile. The move after first bolt was the hardest for me. After that it goes way easier. At some point route goes way left from the bolt - put your longest sling to reduce rope drag or back clean it.
