| We use to climb up Headstone wall using the old bolt ladder installed by the Riverside Search and Rescue Team. However, it was a great training for aid climbing with a cliff hanger move at the top. However, a climber playing God stripped the bolt ladder because, his 5.12 route was near the ladder not in the way but near his climb so he stripped the whole route back in the early 80's. The ladder was once fun climbing because, you had to use a cliff hangers move in getting over the lip. Now gone forever. |
