Nice shots of Stanford! I remember when they re-built the main courtyard and took stone-by-stone away and then returned them. I was stoked that the excact same ones were returned keeping the same moves.
I just ran into some slides from the Ross n Wilson building in Palo Alto when I took Yabo there. I'll have to scan em up!

My three boys cruising the walls on a dinsosaur exhibit near Page, AZ. We found a spot out of view of all of their surveillance cameras.

naitch,
that IS a pretty cool video!
The guys did a great job.
These recent photos with the bridges are sweet too.
Although, I do think that bolted on holds kind of goes against the original spirit of Buildering.
Just my thoughts.....

We REALLY need a climbing gym at UC Merced for when the weather isnt good in Yosemite. Those cracks probably go around 10b

Bumping this historic thread. Also to answer Le Bruce's question of 2008 here: yes the UC Berkeley Memorial Stadium cracks were all done in the sixties. We would do them at night having sneaked over the cyclone fence and gates. There were four, each was different. A couple also kind of wiggled--- problems in the original construction. They all bottomed out at about 6" with a sheetmetal backer in there that also had some nails left from the formwork process of these cast-in-place quadrants that made the stadium bleacher structures. Guessing they were built in the teens to the thirties.
Anyway awesome cracks, dead vertical---the business part was 40 ft with a cornice at top that was not hard. The cracks were 5.10 though due to sizing issues, the backers that blocked a nice deep jam and the vertical continuousness with no rests. Top-rope of course anchoring to the last row of bleachers..total ht maybe 80 ft ++. I guess they are doing a new stadium as we speak so I am not sure if these cracks are even there any more or will be surviving in a new design. My group was not the first on these; Roper, Pratt & co were on them in the earlier part of that decade.

Le_bruce, if the old stadium is going away we might need a night mission....
Ground_up: That 5.7 with boiling oil, stones, and arrows probably becomes 5.19d

Kick ass. Buildering has its own peculiar charms. There is a church near me that has all kinds of potential; overhangs, arches, underclings. The whole facade is offset sandstone built circa 1950. No climbing though, unless you are a ninja
