I am concerned about what I found at these routes over Memorial Day weekend, 2012. Two routes were missing there their lower hangers; Between You and Me and Gotta Love the View. Interestingly, the bolts were still there, but the bottom hangers were missing. Jun 6, 2012

Seems to be a recurring issue with people stealing hangers in the Valley. Whoever is doing this is gonna receive some serious bad Karma! Jun 8, 2012

Hangers are missing from Gotta Love the view (first 2 bolts) and JS new 5.11 to the right of Dihedral (1st bolt). WTF!?

We replaced the hangers on GLTV in Oct. 2013. Sep 30, 2012

Spanker Work Tanker was a fun climb. I felt like the crux was before the first bolt though... and it has about a 15-20 foot fall consequence if you miss the clip. The hanger on the first bolt was still missing from the 5.11 on the NW face. Most of the routes have the option to top rope as well; however, some drift a bit such as "Between You and Me," and a toprope fall wouldn't be fun. Jul 29, 2018
