Castle Rock
Castle Rock garnered little
attention when it was first developed since the rock is not great
quality and didn't hold the gear of that time very well. With the
explosion of sport climbing it has seen much development and will
probably see more in the future. There are some decent climbs on
volcanic rock that can be a little loose. But the views are excellent
and the fifteen minute approach is mostly flat. The number of routes in
the area has more than doubled in recent years with lots of easy to
moderate well bolted sport routes being added. Additionally the area is
now well documented on mountainproject so you can expect the area to
see a lot of traffic. There's plenty of routes though.

benjamin. it will soon become Andria but stay on it to the top. Take
the Tahoe Rim Trail north from the parking lot at the top. You can't
miss the sign for Castle Rock after about 10 minutes.
