This unique conglomerate climbing area is all single pitch climbs and has a few nice areas for those looking to really focus on their climbing skills. Because the walls are on the shorter side it makes a great location to get a lot of laps in and work on technique.
| Climb Name | Climb Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Grocery Store Wall (5.5-5.11, single pitch) | A common beginner location barely visible amongst the Gambrel oaks. A variety of easier climbing routes exist here making it a great location for beginner climbers but plenty of harder climbs are found here as well. | |
| Wendell Spire (5.10, single pitch) | A unique geologic feature as a true spire. With no way to the top but a stout lead it's a great climb for more advanced climbers. |

Castlewood Canyon is another Front Range climbing area with a dedicated following of local climbers. Just near the town of Castle Rock south of Denver this conglomerate area has a multitude of smaller cliffs that make it a great venue for beginners just learning to climb or experts wanting to work on single pitch skills like learning to sport lead or how to build top rope anchors. Because it isn't located near a major road or river it tends to be quieter and can be the best place to go on a warm winter day. While summer mornings tend to be pleasant it can be a little warm in the afternoons when it's sunny. Despite being less than an hour from Denver the area is frequented by deer and other wildlife and fall colors can make for wonderful scenery in this quiet Front Range locale.
