Castle Rock State Park, California (Nor-Cal) info

[badger]

I visited Castle Rock State Park today to see if it is a potential place to crawl.

From the parking lot you have to hike about .3 miles to get to the "Castle Rock". When I reached the rocks I was pleasantly suprised to find some good rock formations to do some crawling. When I was done crawling there I walked up the trail about another 100 yards to find a awsome place to crawl! Everywhere I looked there were cracks and crevices, and the more I walked around the huge rocks the more killer crawl spots poped up.

The best part about almost all of the crawl spots is that it's covered with threes. We finally have SHADE to crawl in. :mrgreen:

This is definitely a potential comp location. BUT you definitely want to bring charged batteries, water, and food. It would not be fun to go back and forth to the car .3 miles each way.

There is free parking outside the park on the road. Or if that is full you have to park in the paid parking zone which is $6.00 a day.

Here are some pics I took.

I know that place is bad ***. I used to rock climb there all the time and forgot about how it looked. I am once again blown away by the looks of the place.

If you go up the road some, you can find other rock croppings that you can park next too. Nothing as rediculously beautiful as those formations, but damn nice.

Thanks for the pics. I can't wait to get up there again especially with my rig this time

It was very fun to crawl at today. To bad you guys live so far away.

Driving there on highway 9 and 35 reminds me of home. Damn I want to buy a house near there but it's soo damn expensive. :roll:

I can go anytime.... except for when I am at work, asleep, doing chores for the wife, passed out in front of the T.V., playing the rock guitar at the local pre-school opening day, or when I am out cutting the lawn blade by blade with a set of dull toe nail clippers. It's hard to operate the R/C with clippers in hand. Try it sometime.

Anyway, I am up for this Sunday.
