does anyone know what the deal is with the Pulpit? Is it still closed? I heard all the bolts had been chopped, but then some guy at Miguel's was talking about one of the .11s up there.
The landowner is NOT climber friendly. It is probably best to avoid the area. The routes aren't that great anyway. It is the small cliff across the road from the via ferrata.
"Those iron spikes you use have shortened the life expectancy of the Totem Pole by 50,000 years."
the land owner became climber unfriendly when some climbers with an unruly and unrestrained dog made him feel unsafe and unwelcome on his own property-it was also during the period when Tom Martin was on his anti what the f... crusade he mindlessly championed> lies plus assholes equal no pulpit
the pulpit is the site of one of the most horrific and infamous falls and injuries of sport climbing gorge history. Jeff "The Pharmacist" was bolting a line up there and somehow came unclipped. Fell sixty feet onto talus. he suffered a devastating tib/fib fracture/ ankle fracture and facial bone fractures. He did live to climb again and last I heard he was peddling around J Tree climbing.

hey are those real short sport climbs directly underneath Kampsight and all them (down the trail, back towards the road) part of the Pulpit or part of Roadside that no one talks about?
