Castle Rock Escalada em rocha 16 vias no setor

From the camping area follow the old Castle Rock track for 100m then a vague track to the left for about 400m up the hill and under the main boulder. Keep going left through a narrow gap and the route is on the left wall. Sustained.

Start on the left wall. Bridge the gap up to the first bolt and pull onto the wall. Head up to a second bolt and then left and up to a third. Easier climbing leads to the top.

Located 20m on the left side of the Castle Rock trail just after you crest a ridge approx 500m from the information centre after the first set of continuous stone steps. Establish yourself with some difficulty in the rough hand crack and up to a rest in the off-width at half height. Continue up to top out then down-climb easy short chimney at rear.

Belaying from the top of this route is not recommended unless you have several very large cams to protect the top of the crack. If seconding this ideally have belay downclimb rear chimney after their ascent and belay from the floor behind the boulder.

From where the track hits the rock, head around to the right for about 80 metres to the first orange streak.

Up into the scoop and then up the streak to the top via a bolt (bracket needed).

At the next orange streak about six metres right of Dribbly Drop head straight up via a bolt at half height. Most of these old routes need brackets for the bolts, so always have some with you. FA Scott Camps (Solo)

About thirty metres right of Imagine is a third streak. Start about ten metres further right at a small, shallow corner.

1. 15m Up the corner for five metres then left onto the slab to belay on the ledge.

2. 23m Up to pocket (SLCD) and then up slab to the top.

Starts at the third orange streak around from Dribbly Drop. Pull onto a bolt on the block on the left. Up past this to a second bolt in a slight bulge before heading left a bit into the scoop. Step back right to a third bolt and continue to the top passing a fourth bolt along the way.

Starts about ten metres around from That Gigantic Pygmy Possum Fossil at the base of a boulder. Traverse out right under the bulge and then up to a bolt. Head further rightward and up into the scoop before coming back left to jugs and a bolt. Carefully up wall to the top

Now follow the track to the summit of Turtle Rock. When the track along the slab narrows to become a track through trees you should be able to locate a small, undercut crack on the right…

Up.

From Micro Epic walk straight down the slab for thirty metres to drop down onto a boulder. From this boulder climb down the tree (!) on the right to the short crack. A tad contrived…

Up the crack and then right for one metre (but don’t bridge the gully…) then up the continuation to the top. Allen Hansen and Shane Chemello Dec 1983

from castle rock camping ground head to the right up hill and under huge boulder. Go right through the cave, turn right and walk 10m, the huge blank boulder in front of you, on the opposite face is a series of nasty looking crimpers. Bring spotters and crash mats, difficult highball with lots of commiting moves on tiny holds. Note LACK OF FOOTPIECES
