#44 - Onyx Summit Crag

08-16-2020

Big Bear, California

Onyx Summit is the highest state highway summit in Southern California. While it is not really much of a hike, it is often overlooked for its beautiful granite rock climbing. There are over 20 routes ranging from 5.3-5.12c for both traditional and sport climbing. This area is definitely worth the visit if you're ever passing by Big Bear via Highway 38!

Distance: Less than 0.25 miles

Elevation Gain: N/A

Final Elevation: 8,443 ft.

Directions to the Parking Lot and Trailhead: Use the following coordinates in Google Maps to route your directions to a pull off. Once you park, safely cross the highway until you find a worn trail leading to the crag. The approach is very short.
