…look what I found! Kinda neat.
Well, there weren’t many rooms left at this Hilton. I refrained from taking many pictures I wanted, due to not wanting to disrespect the residents there. We chatted and they were cool. We wished each other safe travels and went on our ways.Dang. That would be a "Homeless Hilton" out here! We were repelling off an abandoned bridge in to an overgrown Gulley and we found a 1000cc motorcycle down there, missing the front forks and most of the fairings. If I would have had a truck (and a winch) I would have hauled that thing home to repurpose that motor. A 1L cart or Honda FL odyssey would be fun!
Years ago I worked with two of the many people that put them up. They did this at several bridges around the city for climbers to be able to practice on their lunch breaks, or whenever they couldn’t get out to the mountains.Climbing holds lol...
That maybe true. But to me they look to be eyes that hold the concrete forms ..Years ago I worked with two of the many people that put them up.

This of course was before the days of climbing gyms.
I’m not there anymore, but I assure you that they are rocks that have been epoxied to the walls of the bridge abutment. I know the difference.That maybe true. But to me they look to be eyes that hold the concrete forms ..
My rock climbing buddy has climbed El Cap, definitely a formidable undertaking!Rock climber?
Here's the rock my stepson has been up numerous times now...El Capitan in Yosemite National Park

His climbs are usually about 4 days up and 4 hours back down.
Kinda reminds of paraphrasing a line from 'Crocodile Dundee': "That's not a rock...THAT's a ROCK!"
