Bolt Ladder on the back of Headstone Rock in the late 70's with a cliff hanger move at the top. Ladder was 'chopped' because it offended others. This was once a great practice aid route and never hurt anyone ...

Sweet spot to catch sunset views

Headstone Nov. 2004 We were climbing in shorts two days earlier.

Danny taking a break on the Headstone Bolt Ladder in 1979. The ladder was fun climbing using a cliff hanger move at the top. The ladder was chopped in the early 80's. Once a great practice route for aid climbing .<br>
