Description
Castle Rocks offers a wide array of quality granite boulders. Problems cover the entire range of grades, up to V14 with James Litz's Warpath. Landings are generally good, and patina edges and huecos tend to be the dominant hold type.
Please be conservative with tick marks and vegetation disruption, as this could lead to the end of bouldering in the park. Also be on the lookout for rattlesnakes that make the rocks and sagebrush their home.
