Norwegian Wood Climbing

This is located N/E of the Castlewood Ranch neighborhood in Castle Rock, CO. From the intersection of Hwy 86 and Enderud:S on Enderud, E on Mikelson, E on Mitchell. Continue E and N on Mitchell until it dead ends. Continue on foot along a dirt road, that fades into a trail, for several hundred yards. The rocks are on the cliff top near the area where Mitchell Gulch and Willow Creek Canyon converge.

From the intersection of State Hwy 86 and Enderud Blvd in Castle Rock:

Take Enderud S to Mikelson Blvd., then take Mikelson E to Mitchell St., and take Mitchell E then N to where it dead ends. Park here.

Follow the dirt road north. The road dissipates to a trail as it approaches the rim, near the corner of the rim above the confluence of Mitchell Gulch and Willow Creek Canyon.

Tom's Trove is located at some boulders at the east end of the north rim above the mouth of Mitchell Gulch. The rocks will be found just west of where a faint trail descends into Mitchell Gulch. Please note: there is no rock climbing allowed down in Mitchell Gulch. This is posted at the trailheads off of Enderud Blv.d and Mikelson Blvd., to the east. However, up top, above the rim where this area lies, climbing has not been an issue. Please use discretion when climbing here. Caravan your party into one car to avoid any issues with parking at the end of Mitchell St.

Norwegian Wood is located on the flats above the rim to the west of Tom's Trove.

These routes have not been rated because they have only seen ascents by one person, so far. This person is slightly out of touch with the current V-ratings and is waiting for a general consensus prior to publishing them. A rough guess would estimate the difficulties of Tom's Trove to be from V0 to V9. Norwegian Wood is a better warm up spot with lines from V0 to V5.
