The Keep is the large steep buttress that dominates Castle Rock. Most of the routes on this wall – including some of the best climbs on the Port Hills – were destroyed in the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. New routes have been put up where the majority of rock fell away, all bolted. Double bolt belays (DBB) have been added at the top of all the new climbs as to avoid walking around the top and knocking off loose rocks. Please wear a helmet when climbing here as there are loose rocks lying about.
