I think there are a fair number of folks that have been rappelling at Big Schloss but we've cleaned several routes by the footbridge recently. Scouts camp and hike there frequently and have had interest in top rope routes there.
I think there are blocks along the ridge we haven't cleaned and looked over but there are sections along the north facing and east facing wall by the foot bridge there that are stacked and solid. I thought the lead I did on the inside was fun worth having hauled gear up. There's plenty to develop up there if folks aren't scared off by the 2 mile approach from the parking lot. May 25, 2015
