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 is the hueco and sloper face on the opposite side of Pyramid Crack. It faces the loop trail. It looks quite easy, though once you get a ways up, it feels a bit harder.
Perhaps this is 5.8R/X.
A fall from the top would be horrible.
Three stars for the length and excitement.

Location
To get down, it is possible to carefully down climb the route.
However, it is safer and quite a bit easier to use the slabby crack descent as for Pyramid Crack.
Down climb the slabby crack until you can reach the tree. Stem between the tree and slab for a couple moves until you are back safely on the ground.
