Rock Climbing "Beyond Beginner" at Castle Rock State Park

Beyond Beginners climbing days are designed for anyone who has climbed in the past and can confidently tie in and belay. It doesn't matter if you climb 5.6 or 5.11, we'll get you set up on climbs that challenge you and help you develop your skills. The focus of the day is to give you as much climbing as possible.

Indoor climbers, this is a great opportunity to take your gym skills and apply them to real rock! Castle Rock offers remote and beautiful climbing in the 5.6-5.11 level. The park has many climbing areas including the famed Goat Rock, Castle Rock, Cal Cliffs, the Underworld, and the Waterfalls. Our guides will determine where you climb based on the the overall experience of the group.

Meet at Castle Rock State Park (exact directions and specifics to come with your reservation) at 8:30 am and climb until about 4:30 pm.

After climbing you can grab some food with your fellow climbers in Saratoga. It's a perfect way to finish the day, trade stories from your climbs, and develop new friendships.
