hi aarond,

There's at least one climb up Castle Head. It involves a fair walk for only a couple of
pitches of climbing.

It's been about twenty years since I climbed it, so details are a bit hazy, but I think the
route we did was a bit of scrambling up the ridge, a pitch up a chimney to the top of a
block, and then a dodgy rap off the block of one old bolt to a ledge. The next pitch was
the crux, I think it started with a step across back to the main wall, up to a ledge then
out left and up to exit. We walked off the top back to the Narrow Neck Road.

I think the grade was about 15 and there was maybe only one bolt on the wall above the
ledge. You may be able to downclimb the rap, or even bypass the block altogether, but
I'd still take some gear you could leave behind to back up the rap off the block just in
case.

Happy walking and climbing, if you're still keen.
