On our way from St George, Utah to Las Vegas, we stopped at the Virgin River Gorge to see what some of the hardest climbs in the US looked like.
Here’s a photo of me looking up at the big overhanging wall:
If you zoon in on this photo, you can see all of the quick draws which are just left attached to the bolts. Don’t know if every route has pre-attached quick draws, but it looked like most of them did.
Below is a video of a climb at the VRG. (We didn’t have time to do the 5.14c, so we just did the 5.14a variation. Maybe next time.)

Yea those are called permadraws. There are a lot of permanent quick draws on routes in the gorge. Mostly on high thirteens and fourteens.
Wow!
