The start of Procul Harem, at one time the hardest...
Description
This is a compact little free-standing tower located along the main trail past the Bluffs and Tiger Wall but before the Pharos. Swinging (5.9), Procol Harum (5.12b), and The Undertaker (5.12a) are all popular. Descent is via rappel.
Getting There
See above. Approach the crag directly from the main trail. 10 minutes approach time.
The Classics
Mountain Project's determination of some of the classic, most popular, highest rated routes for Castle Crag:
While not a brilliant crag by Arapiles standards, Castle Crag does merit agenda consideration, primarily as possibly the most convenient crag at Araps: it's close to camp, has fixed rap anchors and has routes facing N,S,E and W so you can almost always find something climatically appropriate. CC is also pretty stacked in the 25-26 range (lower half of 5.12).
