Beautiful green in April from top of Plapes.

Used toilet paper right behind "Ghetto Blaster" on the Ghetto Wall... come on people really? I'm bringing a trash bag next time I come!

Apes Wall has amazing bouldering and stays dry in any weather.

Red is if you park on Mullholland, blue is the shady way on a nice path and green is the way from paid parking (as if!)

Not too shabby

Start of the traverse at Rock Pool. 1 hour traffic jam with some hikers trying to get through the small cave section. A little more challenging than I thought once I reached that particular section.

Maidy found a horse on this trip out of the park after climbing. The owners were located, after a SAR search.

Chris Pratt (or stunt double Rom Rom) scrambles above the rock pool toward the Stumbling Blocks in The Terminal List. He then goes for a down freesolo of the Apes Wall with pack and rifle, knocks off a rock, falls, decks onto a boulder and bounces off.
