Agreed. If I had one place only to climb, this would be it.

Hell yes!! I've done the Commitment / Selaginella link up a couple of times (it's one of my favourites longer moderates in the Valley) and always wondered whether it could be extended up that third tier at around the same grade (say, 5.8-5.10a). That would be an awesome big day out!

Once did Werner's Ant trees to Surprise, to Indica Point which ended by slinging the rail at one of the trail overlooks. Sh#t f*#king scary route. Indica Point at least. (Barton/Shipley) Breathing stone of a huge proportion. Then said stone had to be used as anchor. F*#KED!!!!!!!!!!! Get some. Great last pitch. I remember Jake W's feet hanging over as he waited for us to finish. Its such a line from the windows of Res. 4. Really. Also....

I was thinking of heading up to the third tier this weekend. From what I understand, Seaside and Galloping Consumption are ok to climb. Has anyone been up either Seaside or Galloping Consumption recently? Are the Seaside rap anchors remotely safe?
Thanks

The only bolts on the Seaside topo are the two at the top,
and there is a bush/tree just below them which you might be able to rap from if the bolts look scary.
It would be wise to bring extra tied slings and spare nuts to use in rap anchors.

Can anyone draw in known routes on this wall?

I personally have had rockfall from that wall land in my workzone on the falls trail. Also I believe that wall was the source of a rockslide in the 80's that killed several people hiking the trail. With all the areas in the valley it seems to be a poor idea

klaus (for one) has put up stuff there.
The fatalities from rockfall were an act of God, not climbers.

For perspective anyone climbing the rock walls to cut switchbacks is yelled at by trail crew to get off as they can knock rocks on hikers below. That wall is directly above the trail and it is questionable as to the legality of going up there. Personally for the hike involved and the danger to others- it seems pointless and selfish
