(2) HIGHLINING IS PROHIBITED
By the authority of the park manager, Highlining at City of Rocks National Reserve and Castle Rocks State Park is temporarily prohibited as of August 28, 2019.
The park(s) is reviewing highlining activities. Here are Google Drive links to the closure and the updated Code of Regulations for CIRO. drive.google.com/open?id=1y… and drive.google.com/open?id=1Y…
Arrest and/or hefty fines are likely if caught rock climbing with ropes and gear in the BLM land.
Please respect this closure to ensure access to the open climbing at Castle Rocks is not threatened.
The "Final Supplementary Rules for the Castle Rocks Land Use Plan Amendment Area, Idaho" is located in the Federal Registry. This document gives the details on the closure but doesn't provide a map. You can check it out here: federalregister.gov/documen…
Description
These features are considered delicate rock by the park, and climbing on them can potentially jeopardize future access to climbing in CRSP. Best to avoid.
Start on textured huecos that strike your fancy. Climb straight up to the high left arete and roll over the lip, continue right to top out, or drop off (recommended). The holds at the top of the boulder are dirty / grainy plus you’re at the 30+ foot mark.
