After Steve Shobe and I did a GU on the Universal wall called Hydra 11+ ....Ian Katz joined me to put up Universal Form. This was during huge debates about fixed bolts. The idea was to try RBs removable bolts (basically a hole cam). Way left of Hydra....
The Universal Wall.
Rockfall can be a serious consideration at the Universal Wall. We found this boulder more than half a mile from the wall and it wasn't there last season.

Viola purpurea (Charleston Violet); another classified sensitive plant in the area and easy to step on. you don't see too many but I've seen these at the base of Sesame Street.
