Description
This slightly overhung bolt ladder is in a an amazing setting only a very short drive from Pasadena. As long as you show up early enough, you'll love it, but show up late or on a weekend and be prepared to perform for the crowd. The first bolt sheared off in 04/29/2002 and was replaced with a 3/8" rawl.
I've seen people banging pins in for a belay at the base, which I could see for soloing, but is certainly unnecessary when belayed by your partner. Does the belayer really need to be anchored when standing around? Plus, banging pins into the rock at ground level in front of tourists and next to a waterfall is probably bad P.R. for climbers.
