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

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.
