Brickolini stands apart from the crowd on a separate block beneath the Upper Kid Power Tower, offering climbers a crisp, focused 30-foot challenge amid the rugged landscape of Big Bear’s northern realm. This single-pitch sport route demands attention from the moment you launch into its key sequence: a dynamic, lunging move from a broad ledge to a precise, slightly out-of-reach edge near the first bolt. The rock here has personality, firm and gritty with pockets and edges that reward confident footwork and a calculated reach. After surmounting the crux, climbers transition onto easier terrain, gaining higher ground with careful, sustained moves along incut holds, threading leftwards and upward. The protection setup is straightforward—three bolts lead the way, but the mental game kicks in as the second clip sometimes puts you within potential groundfall range, reminding you to keep calm and controlled.

Once past the technical middle section, Brickolini relaxes into jugs and rest spots all the way to the top. The summiting approach is less a technical climb than a quick scramble over solid rock, culminating at a bolted anchor that doubles as a safe rappel station or a pleasant vantage. The approach itself descends from the Upper Kid Power Tower block, so finding this line takes a keen eye and a touch of adventurous spirit. It's an excellent choice for sport climbers seeking a brief but engaging route with a sharp crux and a chance to soak in the wooded backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountains.

Big Bear’s clear mountain air, punctuated by whispered breezes through pines, adds a touches of calm to the adrenal surge this climb delivers. With its modest height and accessible grade, Brickolini suits intermediate climbers ready to test their precision and movement on solid yet exposed rock.

Prepare with sturdy climbing shoes for smearing on the incut footholds and bring mindset gear: focus, patience, and readiness for a mental pull through the crux. Hydration remains key, with water sources limited nearby, so pack accordingly for warm days. Maximize your trip by climbing early or late to avoid midday sun, as southern exposure warms the rock steadily throughout the day. Though brief, Brickolini demands respect for its exposure and the official PG13 rating—it's not a route to take lightly.

In all, Brickolini blends practicality with a spark of adventure, making it a rewarding stop within the wider Big Bear climbing scene. Whether topping out on the quick scramble or savoring the strategic battle of the crux, this route invites climbers to engage fully in the moment and the mountain’s quiet grip.
