| So much fun! Summiting via the SW made me feel like Spiderman - my first class 3/4. Ignored the pesky insects at summit to take in the stunning views. | |

| Drove up with Mammen and Truman from the Bay Area on Sat. morning. Started hiking at 10:30 am - snow wasn't too bad - didn't take snowshoes. It was a perfect day. | |

| The class 4 variation on the summit block was a lot of fun. I just wish it lasted longer! | |

| Back on Castle again after 2 years. Climbed with my dog CJ in a couple of inches to maybe a foot of snow in places. Views were great. You could see the Sutter Buttes and the Coastal Range. | |

| I went with my grandpa 13 months after a foiled attempt. Climbed the Class 4 of the east turret and signed the notebook that was in the metal box. Fun climb. Went back in Aug of 2006 with Rad. | |

| davis13 | Route Climbed: SE ridge Date Climbed: Sept 2001 | |
| First climb of many in both summer and winter. Great mountain for getting started on both the hiking season and the snowbarding season. NW ridge from the end of the dirt road is the fastest and easiest. Gives quickest access to Basin Peak also. | |

| Finally got the summit block, west side. Easy to get to w/o all that snow. Nice way to recover from minor surgery. If I lived in Truckee, this would be my gym for sure. :) | |

| Kristina,Ginger(my dog), and myself made it to the summit after we where turned around by 50 mile and hour winds the day before. We ran into some icy conditions on the Northwest slope and Kristina did not have crampons so I cut steps all the way up. It was a very fun day and good mountaineering practice. There are a lot of fun short vertical ice/snow climbs on this peak that I enjoyed. | |
