The West Rim is a bouldering area in California's Mount San Jacinto State Park, within the San Jacinto Ranger District of San Bernardino National Forest. The land is managed by State Park and Recreation, and the area sits among several other climbing spots, with Young Boulder and Emerald City both about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is all bouldering, with nine routes spread across the area. Grades run from V0 to V3+, with the median at V2. Some of the named routes include Problem B at V0, But of Quartz at V2, and Toto or Dorothy? at V3. For a longer outing, the Round Valley Trail and Desert View Trail are both within a mile. Camping is available at Black Mountain (San Bernardino) and Fern Basin, each about 5 miles away.
