Lower Tier

California > San Bernardino… > Highway 38 Crags > (d) Frustration Creek

Description

This area has over 25 routes with most on the north side of the canyon and a handful of routes on the south side. As always be aware of your surroundings and look out for loose rock!

Getting There

Walk down the climbers trail and you're there. It's a literal stones throw from the paved turnout where you park. You'll see an old metal structure rusting away.
