Description Suggest change

This crag has a surprising number of hard climbs, many of which are rated highly. It also hosts a unique and classic moderate - The Raven and the Bear (5.10a sport). You won't find too many people in this area as its not that popular.

Getting There Suggest change

Take the trail just below the upper parking lot. After 5-10 minutes, you'll pass Daycare and Daycare Quickies with their short, easy climbs. Shortly after passing these crags, continue straight past the sign for Diamondback. After a few more minutes, you'll hit a series bunch of forks in the trail. Don't take a hard left to The Wave or up and left to Elusive Edge - instead break and follow that trail until you see a small path on your left, which drops down into a gully before coming back up to the wall with a steep yellow section above. You can also access Raven's Castle from Diamondback by following the trail along Diamondback's South Face until you hit an intersection, where you go left.
