Rock ClimbingThe rock climbing in the Mount Shasta area is very diverse. We have a wide variety of rock locally and in the vicinity. From the adventurous trad routes of Castle Crags, Castle Lake and the Trinity Alps to the radical overhanging limestone of Cecilville and Shredding and the many other crags scattered around the area will satisfy any climbers desire!  Shasta Base Camp is the spot where you can get the beta on local climbing as well as the climbing equipment you'll need for your ascents. We are passionate about climbing here and our team members are the leading developers in the area. We are out there doing it so we can give you the info your looking for on any level beginner to expert. We've been there, RECENTLY!, so we know what's good and what should be avoided. We are also proactive in anchor and bolt replacement, we know that rapelling off of a route can be the most dangerous part of your adventure. If you've been climbing in the area and come across questionable fixed hardware, bolts, anchors, fixed pins / pitons, etc... let us know and we'll give the information to one of our team members. Shasta Base Camp "The Core of Mountain Culture" SHASTA BOULDERING!!! Like most of the outdoor adventure disciplines in the Mt. Shasta area, bouldering, is a diamond in the rough. Many local meca's await development or discovery. The 2 most popular bouldering spots are the South Fork Boulder(aka 'The Cube') and Byron's Boulder on the Everett Memorial Highway. Another spot less frequently visited is the boulder garden of Sand Flat. This area offers unlimited potential for bouldering development. Here are are a few pics and a little route info to peak your interest. The Cube

Castle Crags Wilderness is the epicenter for alpine rock climbing in the Northern California and has seen development of some awesome alpine cragging hotspots in the past few years as well. The Marble Gully and Grotto projects surely has diversified the climbing scene offering cool summer hideaways with moderate to hard climbing on a variety of rock features. This mini guide represents some of the newly developed climbs and a few older routes as well. downloadable pdf <New Castle Crags Mini Guide >
