| fun climb - a fair amount of friction but the downclimb isn't as hard as you'd think on the way up. drove up from san francisco, tagged the dome and drove back - a fun day | |

| This was harder than I thought. Some of the moves on top are very exposed, which proved rather "exciting" solo. I was racing weather at about 2:30 pm when I summited. Unfortunately Shasta was completly hidden by clouds. It was a fun day hike but my feet were killing me at the end of the day. I suspect this climb will be much easier after I lose about 40 lbs :-) Never found a summit register, but I was in a hurry to get off the top. | |

| We tried to reach the start of the W. Ridge route but it was kind of rough going for our dog. Settled on doing the regular route. | |

| On the drive back home after having done Shasta the day before I decided to give Castle Dome a try. What a fun climb! Definitely worth it! I'll have to make this a regular stop anytime I'm up there. Think I'll try the "stairs" next time. | |

| Drove down from Corvallis for a day hike. Well worth it, amazing area! Climbed the regular route. Nice climb on super solid granite. Perfect weather and visability. Amazing summit views of Shasta, Lassen, Hubris, and the entire Castle Crags area. | |

| I was only 6 years old, and as of that time, was the youngest person to reach the summit of Castle Dome. My step-father was an accomplished Mt. climber and took me on the awesome climb. I even led the 'last pitch to the summit'. I remember signing the 'guestbook' at the summit, which consisted of a small plastic box with papers in it with the names and ages of people who'd reached the summit. The hike back to our campsite was very hard, as I was so tired... but SO VERY PROUD. I wonder if I am still the youngest person to climb Castle Dome, my beloved rock. | |

| Amazing views of Mt. Shasta! Looking back over my shoulder, my jaw dropped at the sight of Mt. Hubris. Returned in 1996 to climb the Cosmic Wall on Mt. Hubris. | |

| Didn't make it this time as recent snow storm dumped 3-4' of snow in the last few days and we weren't prepared for the conditions. Retreated very close to the top on the trail and went home completely soaked, cold, and a little bloody --- of course, a really great time! :) | |

| Great hike, no one else on the trail, one set of foot prints visibile in snow of someone that day or the day before perhaps. Clouds passing by quickly and views of Shasta for a few seconds here and there if we're patient. Very quiet and beautiful place up here, the only distraction being Interstate 5 about 2,500' below which is barely audible. The dome itself was fairly wet and icy and we didn't have any technical gear or desire to climb it to the very top. | |

| Climbed with Ryle. The setting was spectacular, but the rock was not. The route was only 5.8, but there were many loose sections to test one's nerves. The "Potato Chip Flake" (a few pitches up) is going to come off one of these days. | |

| After turning around on Shasta due to inclement weather, Randy, George and I headed over to Castle Dome for a fun day of some easy climbing and great views. We had the summit all to ourselves - quite a treat. We roped up, but I'm not really sure this was necessary. Read more about this trip in my SP Trip Report. | |
