How are the anchors?

Maybe I'm misreading the photos I've seen, but it doesn't look like there are many trees close to the top of the cliff. Have folks placed bolts up top or does the park management prohibit that?

Theres a ton of trees up top. There are also bolts for # mules, mermaid, gougs, potato chip and beginners climb. The bolts work well with 3-4 ft runners and 15' webbing single run for most of the other climbs...30' webbing max on any climb. Dont hang chips in the large crack but hang it 2-4' further west (right direction while on top) to prevent rock and rope damage. Use a carpet under the webbing.

I think that it is also important to note that you should always back up the chains and bolts at The Ledges by slinging a nearby tree (or two). I wouldn't put too much faith in them.
