And of course, let's not forget the work of Alex Hartley, LA Climbs, a marvelously wry volume available from Amazon and other sources.

The cemetary in Arcata has an amazing mausoleum (Minor family)made of hewn granite blocks.
I wish I had a picture of the undertaker confronting me, mid-traverse:
What in THE HELL are you doing?! People are INTERRED here!"
At least he didn't call the cops . . .

Buildering on the castle above the town of Nafplio Greece. If you tried this at the Acropolis in Athens the authorities would be on you the moment you even thought about it. Elsewhere in Greece it hard to walk 10 feet before tripping over some ancient (and forgotten) treasure.
The buildering potential was amazing and looked at times like an M.C. Escher print.
Quality stone and lots of it!

A gem from jgill's website. Photo by the Abraham brothers.I'm totally unsure why this came out like this.
Perhaps the barndoor is open in the lower section? :0)

Randisi, that structure was the famed Mt. Earl, named after the P.E. teacher who had the foresight to put it in in the late '70s (notice the date on the newspaper article says 3-20-80). I don't know for sure if it's the very first, but that's the earliest climbing wall that I ever knew of. 40' telephone poles, 8' apart. Plywood stacked on their side all the way up, with one wall on wheels so you could have a lower-angle wall. All the holds were wood.
We had a circuit that went all over campus. I remember some really great problems. Of course, there are the obvious hand cracks that go up for three stories on each building. On top of one building, there's a hurtful finger crack, and some great traverses.
