Castle Rock was featured many times in bouldering movies and the place became famous even though it is pretty small. With all the hype and high expectations, many boulderers told me they were disapointed with the place.

Still, I liked it. Castle Rock might not keep you busy for a month, but its killer sandstone reminiscent of Fontainebleau should provide you with a few good days of playing. For those looking for hard stuff, don't forget this is Chris Sharma's home and there are quite a few testpieces around.
