This area is known for seasonal falcon nesting.
While signs are posted in the area, do not hike or climb routes that near the top of the crag. This includes any multipitch route, most of Armory Wall, and may include Village Wall, The Torture Chamber, and North Castle.
If you see a raptor diving or hear loud bird calls, you may be too close to the nest; please go somewhere else to climb. Disruption of falcons may keep them from nesting and could result in seasonal closure of the climbing area.

Description
This is the hardest rated route at Castle Rock. Luckily, being one of the three routes at the Upper Chambers, it shares anchors with the two climbs on either side of it (Dragon's Tail 10b and Dragon's Lair 10c L to R). Lead it like a true "dragon slayer," or climb an adjacent route to set up a toprope and work through the moves.
Dragon Slayer heads straight up the face with 11b moves until the 11d crux at the 5th bolt. The route veers Right to the 6th bolt, then shares the final bolt with the route to its Left (Dragon's Tail 10b). Finish at open cold shuts for the anchor. Lower off.
