Ledges to Lawndale- 55’-5.9*  Sucess!

Not much difference between this route and Buckets to Burbank just to the rigtht. Both cross two horizontals where you can place medium gear to supplement the bolts. Ledges has two bolts that protect the slab cruxes well. The start is run out off the deck but on huge jugs. The guide (Miramontes 2014) does not show it, but each of the three routes to the right of the 5.4 has its own fixed anchor. The only rap anchor is atop Ledges, but this is an easy formation to walk off as well.

Holds to Hollywood- 50’-5.4  Sucess!

A solo route that leads to the top of the formation and three fixed raps above each of the other routes on this wall. Huge jugs on good rock.

Buckets to Burbank- 55’-5.8**  Sucess!

Same as Ledges, except one pro bolt vs two, but two solid opportunities for gear as well. Guide mentions one bolt anchor, but there are two. Not a rap anchor, just a top rope anchor that needs long extension to reach the edge. The rock is a bit more varnished than Ledges and the route trends right. Same start, run out off the deck, but huge jugs.
