| Anybody have recent topo or photo of gargoyle wall at Camelback that has a little more info than the usual sources? PR II has a great topo and Rock Climbing AZ has a good photo with a few routes. I've seen some comments on this site and others that lead me to believe there has been some bolts added to some of the routes since then. Thanks |  |

| Thanks manuel. One of the posts I read said that Pedrick's has "plenty of bolts, especially in the chimney". Actually thats the only one that suggested there were more bolts than the guide book. |  |

| Pedricks chimney has more than one bolt I think and maybe even more than one in the little chimney section. At any rate I thought there were plenty of bolts on the route when I climbed it as my third outdoor climb ever. Considering the terror I feel at the slightest runout I think there must have been a few, or else it was just so super easy that one is plenty. |  |

| Hey Pete did you use any trad pro on Pedrick's? Also thanks for your info on the Camelback routes. You've been a big help to me in the past. |  |

| No, I didn't have any gear when I climbed it and I don't know if there would be anywhere to put it anyway. I looked at some pictures last night and i think I can see two bolts in the chimney. There is also a big grey rock on one side of the chimney that has good holds all over it. Its really super easy. |  |
