Geology buffs should not miss climbing at Lower Gibraltar. The ledge at the base of Lieback Annie and the Rapture is home to some of Santa Barbara's finest slickensides.

Some of the lesser (or better..?) crags around the main Gibraltar rock. The trail shown involves some scrambling at times and takes you to the top of the Upper Gibraltar anchors.

The Jesusita Fire brought destruction to Upper Rattlesnake Canyon and to the Gibraltar climbing area. All of the individual crags were affected. Lower Gibraltar, Toxic Waste Wall, and Upper Gibraltar seem to be the hardest hit. To view more images, click [[here]]http://mountainproject.com/v/matthew_fienup/106443050
