| Steve1215 | ...a crazy place | |
| Climbed a lot here in the late 1970s. I think I did everything except for English Hanging Gardens. Free-soloed the Rat Crack a lot and soloed The Trough too. Soloed behind Rob Muir on Pudnurtle...or was it Mindbender? | |

| farrisgl | Lot of climbing here 1973 - 1979 Date Climbed: Feb 4, 1973 | |
| Seems like yesterday when I climbed at Big Rock. Bit of a hastle at the time in order to get permits. In reading the logs, it appears the biggest problem now is forgeting to pay the permit fee and crowds. We used to rarely see anyone. Still, I need to visit again soon. | |

| jonmeek16 | Awesome Slab Climbing | |
| My partner and I have been climbing at Big Rock for more than 6 years. It's a great place and easy access to get to. This is a great rock to train for "Snake Dike 5.7***** on Half Dome". We've climbed just about every route on rock, with exceptions to the 5.11's. Can get crowded on the weekends in the winter. All the bolts are still real solid. | |

| Blackmouth | Close to home Date Climbed: Apr 1, 2006 | |
| I love Lake Perris because it's so close to home. Hang your stuff or the squirrels will get into it. | |

| Aaron Dyer | Easy to get to... Date Climbed: Sep 23, 2007 | |
| but not easy to locate routes. I had a hard time determining what was what, but oh well. Seems like a good place to come if you are in the Inland area and want a quick outdoor place to go. | |

| rocketsredglare | Route Climbed: 5.7-5.9 Date Climbed: several | |
| Not a great place but if you are in the area do the 5.9 under the roof to the left, pretty fun. | |

| Steve Larson | Route Climbed: multiple Date Climbed: Late 1970's | |
| Did several day trips out here when I was a beginner. You quickly run out of reasons to return when Tahquitz and J-tree are almost equal driving distance (at least for me). | |

| Scott M. | Route Climbed: Headwall, Puppy Dog, and The Hard Trough Date Climbed: March 6, 2004 | |
| Had a fun half day here even if it was pretty busy with some group classes going on. | |

| darinchadwick | Route Climbed: Northwest passage, some other stuff. Date Climbed: 1st time in 1995 | |
| My first introduction to Southern California granite. I'd never known such friction. I'd never known such runouts either. Aaahh, but I learned much after going to Joshua tree and Tahquitz. A revisit to Big Rock, and things didn't seem so hairy after all. | |

| forjan | Route Climbed: Various (African Flake Direct, The Hard Trough, Pudnurtle, Puppy Dog, Right Flake, The Trough) Date Climbed: November 2003 | |
| Led various sport routes there (African Flake Direct, The Hard Trough, Pudnurtle, Puppy Dog, The Trough). Also followed "Right Flake." This is a nice but unfornutanely very crowded crag. | |

| Dave Daly | Route Climbed: Several Date Climbed: April 1993 | |
| This is the rock that started my love/hate relationship with scaling stone. My first ever route: 'Puppy Dog', 5.6. On my last trip there, I had to wait my turn while some "dude" in lizard-skinned duds showboated in front of my girl! And, no, it wasn't Jim Morrison reincarnated......!! | |

| Deb | Route Climbed: Several Date Climbed: July 2001 | |
| I've lost track of how many times I have taken budding climbers to this slab or how many times I've paid my daughter to belay me. Most notable climbs was my maiden soloist climb while anchored to a picnic table AND the attack of the swifts while ran out and off-route with no quick draws left. | |
