On Sat 6/6 I attempted to hike the Sylmar waterfall above Veteran's Memorial Park. I thought it'd be fairly easy, but it wasn't. Esp when I ran into this, which I take to be at least 5.10. I couldn't find good foot or hand holds and, given I'd gone to the gym the day before, I had an extra gallon of water in my pack (for a ruck lite), and I had something else to do I didn't want to spend a lot of time trying to get up the rope so I turned tail and ran away. I also didn't entirely trust the rope.
On the 13th I'll be in Santa Clara for Qatar v Switzerland, then the next day I'll be doing the Alameda County highpoint if anyone's interested.
Pray for Shaqiri to change his mind at the last moment.

I've done routes right near it but didn't know about this waterfall! But yeah it's on Alltrails I see. Sounds like the trail is pretty rough and informal. Just when you think you've done everything around the SFV, you are reminded there's always another canyon...

Can you climb the tree? Or the rope?
