Thanks for the TR - I've seen pictures of people climbing/bouldering at Stony (Stoney?) Point, and knew about its place in history, but never seen area and panorama photos of it. So even though JDF's photo is annoyingly wide, it does provide a nice perspective on the place.
To illustrate, somehow I always thought it was on the ocean. Apparently not.

annoyingly wide? it takes like 52 seconds for my arrow button to find the next page, for what, some rubble next to an overpass?
i mean which pixel was supposed to put me over the edge? i'll tell you. it was the 1280th
you better hide your chihuahua young man, i'm beyond the age of reason
edit: okay, i overreached re: the dog. it worked for the wicked witch, but sheez, if you can't paint a picture with a thousand pixels....

I would know about the Ape's wall considered I live 4 min away! getting to the wall on a rainy day suck's!
Hot Tuna is a dry place, however I'd rather go to Boulderdash indoor rock climbing gym. That way I can socialize and climb at the same time.

I gonna be on that standstone come Fri, my state unpaid day off.
Training for the Nose of Big Stone near the road.
I predict I will be doing three pigs again in less than 30 days.

I'm not bothered by the J.D.F panorama pic at all. I gives the viewers a chance to see that Stoney is suburban climbing.

It's best to just stay off the stuff till it dries out.
We have lost many "great problems" because of knuckle heads who are stupid f-ks.
Last winter, while it was raining hard, I was driving past and saw a big group of climbers unloading pads.
I made an emergency U turn......
Then we had a "little talk" about Stoney with these dudes..... They packed away the pads.
You gotta take care of your crags.

Cool..... did you make them eat it?
I know someone who caught a "graffiti artist" at work.
Held him down, and sprayed down his face with the paint.....

i've heard that spray paint story before. funny stuff!
yeah it's kinda comforting to know that the Stoney crew drives up and down Topanga throughout the day watching and regulating climbers and their activity!
I'll post more pic's when the time comes!
