    It is great to see this. I learned how to climb while living on the valley floor there in Yosemite back in the 80s.
    Back then cars were allowed everywhere and we could belay while sitting on the bonnet of the car.

    That just reminded me of the "Top Rope Tough Guys" video in last years Reel rock Film. The link to it is here, very funny stuff!:D

    Yeah, it was a bit crazy. It was common to leave your car open with the doors wide open as we climbed up a multi pitch route. How else could we listen to some great climbing music while on the wall?
    For some reason, no one ever drove off with our car while we were hanging on the wall.
