| When Richard Ludwig, Tim Wilhelmi and I TR'd this in the late 80's we called the line from sand to anchors Dream Theme. We messed around with all the variations around it and it was Tim who first unlocked the sequence. I don't think we ever thought we were climbing a 5.12 route, however...But it's a total pump, that's for sure! |

| I also recall a few of us really wanting to bolt this line, including me, but others insisted it was better off as a TR. Then upon discovering / climbing at Lost Rocks, The Promontory, and Footsteps, we finally left Moonstone alone. But anyway, what are Moonstone Beach regulars / locals saying these days? |

| Several years ago, Moonstone was going through a new management plan. Local tribal members were trying to get climbing banned and wanted all bolts removed(even TR anchors). Due to other priority issues, climbing was not addressed but most have felt that adding new bolts might affect future access. |
