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

The sit-start to Pocket Face. An underrated gem, nestled above the Waterfall cliffs. Start seated matched on a big undercling. Power-up and trend left into a burly compression sequence. Secure a tenuous heel, utilize a pocket, and make your way into the stand start and finish as for that problem. Top-out in nice dishes and jugs. Unique for Castle. A great route!

Location

Located above the Waterfall cliffs. Take your pick of trails to the Muffins, either utilizing the standard trail to the waterfall platform, climber's trail to the muffins, or climber's trail toward the waterfall cliffs, and then make your way down past the main Muffins bouldering area to the outlying ridges perpendicular to the main sport climbing anchors. You will see this striking overhanging face at the very end of one of the ridges, in view of Waterfall Arete, and behind Pocket Change. Also a short walk from Sourdough Starter.
