SCM cool pic! I was not aware of climbing at Castle Rock... I was just aware of Pinnacles, north Holcomb Valley and the crack on 38 just above the hairpin for Forest Falls.... I may need to check out CR one of these days.

Thanks scm! I had no idea about that, just thought it was a trail everyone seemed to like ! I have always been more a lake, waterski jet ski person and moderate hikes so never knew about rock climbing here.

Hey SamIam! Yes that was very sad to hear. Castle Rock is known for its pretty narly climbing terrain.

I just saw an article about a rock climber falling to his death in big bear July 12 and was wondering where people rock climb here? I’ve never seen them rock climbing in 30 plus years of being here.

I just went down 38. Both lanes are open but there are a lot of emergency vehicles around the turnout near the fire so be ready to slow down.

They investigate fires to the best of their ability to determine the cause, along with any potential criminal culpability. Incident reports can be viewed at [Click Here]. Countless things can ignite a fire that should be watched for, both natural and man-made. Most wildfires, however, are caused by people and could have been prevented.
