we belayed the start of the 3rd pitch of giant's staircase from these anchors... not much of a ledge... there was a much better anchor system up and to the left--could've had a bbq at that belay station, but this one worked...

The top 15 ft. of rock is broken, covered in moss, and otherwise crappy. The rest of the wall is better than perfect. I love French's.

New practice anchor at Frenches Dome, located at the lowest tier.
One handful of about 5 I picked up from the parking lot on 6/24/23. Not sure how this all got there but beware your tires

I thought the dome was pretty sweet, reminded me of Sam's Throne a bit
