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

Clip the 1st bolt from the ground, low .10 moves to 2nd clip, easy climbing to 3rd bolt on razor sharp sandy jugs, 4th bolt is hard to see but right above the bulge. The crux is getting to the anchor (in my opinion), left from the 4th bolt is easier ground (mantle) or right with a few slopers (crux).

Location

30 feet right of Monkey Brains (5.11a). From top of Last Temptation Cliff just keep going East and you'll see the top of the climb, head down the gully around the flank of the climb.
