Rock Climbing
Castle Crags
Majestic Castle Crags are more than 170 million years old and these 6000-feet tall granite spires border the northwestern edge of Castle Crags State Park. Castle Crags climbs require a strenuous 2-3 hour uphill hike to access the rock and climbers should be in good physical condition.

Ney Springs
Found by John Ney on a hunting excursion in the late 1880’s, Ney Springs Crag offers about 5 developed walls. The shade and higher elevation and easy access make it a good destination in the summer. Mostly mixed climbs with a few sport routes.
