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

Giant hidden boulder accessed from the main trail. Two ways to get there, one of which avoids the sometimes irritating approach, but if you want to warm up on the other boulders, it's best to access via the main trail. Fastest way is to walk down the stairs and take a left back towards Indian rock walking 2 minutes to the obvious climbers trail on the right. 5 minute walk from there. You will know if you are on the right trail when you see a well marked climbing trail with rocks built on either side in one spot.

Getting There

Either take a left and continue until you see the obvious climbers trail on the right, or take the annoying uphill approach past the giant redwood tree
