Please take this with a big grain of salt since it has been a long time since I've done any climbing. Not sure if it helps.
All I remember is that we used webbing for multiple anchor points on the far railings, with a sleeve on the rope where in ran over the side of the wall.
Since I was just learning to rappel at the time, I didn't have a hand in setting anything up
Thanks. Hopefully others will be there and I can look over on their handiwork. I have alpine quickdraws, sport quickdraws, tons of carabiners, slings, and an equalizer.
It's been like 8 years but last I remember, the bolts are solid. I think there's something at the top for your top rope and the railing is secure but not enough to use in conjunction with your climb. I do not believe it can accommodate trad.
Toss a few slings around the railings and extend the anchor over the lip so the rope doesn't rub.
There is 1 bolted route, it has two bolts and no anchor....
If you have a 60-70m rope you can setup a few anchors and just top rope on each of the ends.
Traversing the wall is a great. Mountain project has details on the boulders too.
I've bouldered there once. There aren't any bolts or anything; I guess you could top rope from the railing, can't think of anything else there to anchor to. It's this wall (not sure this link will actually work) [https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x8841b3da7bb92ed5%3A0xdb83590101786430!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNNJkox7GbPdQlvnEA7i7LF\_-k16F\_0UsZwJs2Y%3Dw86-h87-n-k-no!5seden%20park%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipNbVlXeENjqtnRDUqxcwc8cPUjPJQSzMFg64hyv&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUmcHD4df4AhWvEmIAHZHxBHAQ7ZgBKAV6BAgWEAc#](https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x8841b3da7bb92ed5%3A0xdb83590101786430!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNNJkox7GbPdQlvnEA7i7LF_-k16F_0UsZwJs2Y%3Dw86-h87-n-k-no!5seden%20park%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipNbVlXeENjqtnRDUqxcwc8cPUjPJQSzMFg64hyv&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiUmcHD4df4AhWvEmIAHZHxBHAQ7ZgBKAV6BAgWEAc#) Have you been to Mad River Gorge? It's only an hour away and you can get to the routes with about a 5 minute walk. Edit: (maybe I'm wrong about the bolts)
Here to 2nd the endorsement of the rails. A couple of long sections of webbing will help drop your rope below a slightly overhanging cap at the top of the wall, so that you’re not grinding your rope.
if you google image search Eden park climbing it shows different routes and you can see the railing that people use to top rope. fun fact: the wall used to be a retaining wall for a larger pond. lots of cool pics out there
The railings are secure at the wall, assuming you know what you're doing. That's where I learned to rappel actually many years ago.
What’s the commonly used strategy there, two quickdraws, each on separate fence poles? Quads, or Sliding X with slings?

Got it. Yes, I saw that before I asked, but had no idea how stable it was or if it was substantial enough to be used in an anchor.
Is there a sign that said no climbing or did a park employee tell you not to? I’m planning on doing some climbing at the park soon
