There is a lot of good climbing at Malibu State Park, but most prefer to start at the bottom and work upwards.


I have to agree with Hikemor, a tech rescue team would have been much much safer and a lot less drama. While the rescue paramedic did a great job there was a larg potential for the rescuer to accidentaly knock the poor girl off. The strap that she was holding was a tow strap. yet the guy at the top was barly holding it.

and I agree with the person who said that she should dump the idiot boyfriend with "bright ideas"
