Description

A series of aretes further upstream and close to the Kings Bridge. These aretes are historic and infamous, the route "No Dams" was the first bolted route in the gorge, and would habe been chopped by guidebook author Gerry Narkowicz if he wasn't arested for shoplifting a hacksaw, his instrument of choice for the deed. These days these routes are scarred by the many iterations of bolting and chopping they have seen, it has left the rock looking worse for wear and could result in climbers losing access to the area
