Sea World, also known as Hanson's Wall, is a rock climbing area in Castlewood Canyon State Park in Colorado. The land is managed by State Fish and Wildlife. The crag sits in a tight cluster of walls, so it pairs easily with other climbing in the same part of the canyon. Visits here are about the rock itself, and the area works well as one stop in a day spent moving between neighboring walls. Early fall is a comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a weather station in Elizabeth, about 7 miles away, show September highs around 76°F and lows near 46°F. July is the warmest month, with highs around 85°F. Vulture Walls, C-Section and Project X Wall are all about 0.1 mile away. The Climber's access (Castlewood Canyon C-Section) trail is about 0.4 mile off.
