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
This 10' tall boulder holds a deceptively large variety of problems with a diverse range of options, from V0 to Chris Sharma's V8 traverse of the rock.
Sandstone, in the shade of the trees and Castle Rock Proper.
Jump off the top on the short side of the boulder, and a pad will help with the landing.

Getting There
Approach time:From the Parking lot: 5 - 15 minutes, depending on your pace.From Castle Rock proper: 10 seconds.
From the Castle Rock parking lot, head uphill on the leftmost walking path .3 miles to Castle Rock proper. The walk wanders a bit, but the path is signed the whole way, so it's hard to miss. Once at Castle Rock proper (the big one, you can't miss it), walk around the right side of the rock to the smaller boulders slightly downhill ad left of the trail. This is the first boulder the trail will take you to if you walk downhill to the lower side of the rocks. The front face of The Spoon is just left of the trail about 5 feet, and the 360 Degree boulder is just downhill from the other rocks of this area (spoon, bates arete and others.)
