Hetch Hetchy - Inspiration Point

Any feedback on Camp Mather route?  Top rope 5.6 to 5.10 variations.

is that the one that faces the road, or on the downhill side?

There's a dirty wide bouldering problem on the right side of that thing. Good times.

Looks like it faces the road.

Nice anchoring bolts and no hiking - whoop!

Roger those. TR'd a couple variations on it. Fun. Good for a half day me thinks.

Spend the rest of the time hiking to the falls, or hitting up Evergreen for drinks and food.

Spot on, munge.

Spent a half day climbing different routes on the same rope.  Super fun.

Had never been there before and was jaw dropped at the splendor when we got on top of the rock and saw the view down the valley and over to the dam.

Holy crap.  Simply stunning.

The ranger told us about some other climbing in the quarry.  Looking forward to going back to explore.

Thanks again for the info - if no one had experience there, I'm not sure I would have ventured it.

aye, there is other stuff there.

the logistics work against anyone trying to climb past the dam.
