The thousands of acres of fresh poodle dog is going to make bushwacking into these hidden gems a real pleasure!

Topanga Cyn? It's not Sespe or Piru and it looks too clean for Malibu creek but I suppose it could be? Where it at?

Nice TR from DeSwellMon!

Roadside access and no chalk marks? WTF?

Never assume anything...
Chalk does wash off :) There's a benchmark on top:

Pyro's secret spot is visible from Las Virgines road, ha bro! You can drive up there, by going all the way to the top of Corral Canyon road from PCH. Great views of Santa Monica Bay, but the rock is pretty soft.

Here's a rock I have never hiked up to, but it's visible from ACH just west of Red Box junction. I call it Owl Rock:

This boulder sits next ACH near Buckhorn Campground. The arete is about 10+ (Toproped).

Just reading today in Royal's autobiography. I believe that piton on Winston Peak might be his. Pounded in around 1949 when he was active in that area.

I scanned that Strawberry Peak Wall topo and sent it to Levy but I can't seem to find it now. Too much crap on this computer. 3-hour approach to Strawberry wall by the way. I've worked it from every angle. BITD the old timers could drive the Josephine Peak road to access. It's faster to drive to Tahquitz.

I think that new bolt on Burbank Pebble must be mine. I'd agree that it may be crap. Put it up there about 1993. Hand drilled for an hour. That Gneiss is hard as hell. Not much use for it except to replace the one that was there before it. I think it's only a 2.5x3/8 split expansion type.

There are two other poison oak covered crags on Verdugo Hill. One above the dam in Country Club Canyon. I cleared poison oak and placed one totally crap bolt that should still be there. The other is near the start of La Tuna Single Track at the bottom. My friend Eddie says he placed a bolt and TRed. I've not been up to check this out. Too much poison oak for my taste.

I just noticed "Owl Rock" a few months ago, the fires exposed that thing pretty good.

And Swelly I don't care that you reposted my pics from Mountain Project. I'm still waiting for Millard to open again. I'd poach it, but that camp host is f*#king crazy and would probabbly kill me chainsaw masacure style.

Yeah I know, I went down to the falls like a month ago from the top way in. I want to just do it but everyone can see you from the trail and its not really worth it. I don't really see why it's closed it didn't burn down in there.
