Thanks for your efforts, Shaun. Which of these climbs are top-rope accessible?

Thanks for the area, had a late afternoon slot and this was a great place to go to, cool, shady and a refreshing creek. The parking area was FULL :shock:

So we only climbed at first contact.

Really enjoyed A-Team, but I was concerned about blowing the third clip...I felt like I would hit the ground if i did?

Thanks for the hard work!

Climbed On Edge yesterday; I would say I agree with the 11- rating, really enjoyed the crux moves! I felt that just after the crux before you shimmy left back onto the face, the top of the crack has a fair bit of loose rock sitting in it. I tossed some of it out of the way but theres still some more lurking around. All the holds needed to climb it are secure but I could see somebody reaching up there to try and find a rest position and sending something down. If nothing else just a psa for the belayer to keep an eye out.
