place the guide book suggested, and it turned out to be holds drilled into the support of a bridge! It's a well used bridge (on top) and I suppose someone decided that the bottom of it shouldn't go to waste. There were lots of people there (all decked out in the latest gear) and then us. We felt a little conspicuous, but pressed on anyway and the guys did well. After abandoning an attempt on a really hard section (it wrapped around a 90 degree corner) they found one that was straight up. They fared much better on it and ended the day tired but happy.

Wow! What a cool way to use a bridge! Were there professional belayers there or was everyone setting their own safety ropes?
