About the Authors
Louie Anderson has been climbing since the age of 8. Over the years, he has explored all aspects of climbing, from bouldering to big walls. However, his main interest lies in developing new routes, and he has contributed to many routes described in this guide. He has also developed routes in areas like Frustration Creek and Riverside Quarry; check out his guides for these regions as well!
Todd Fertig, originally from Colorado, has been climbing since 1991. He moved to Los Angeles in 2003 to study law and now works as a tax attorney. Todd also enjoys route development and climbs year-round, having given up skiing, claiming he is "too old". When not climbing, he enjoys spending time with his son Bodhi and his partner Kristen.
