Sorry to hear about your unkind encounters with locals. I'm happy to have grown up in my climbing there - I'm not mean and never really had bad encounters. I was a 'local', am friends with many kind 'locals' and maybe they were masshole 'locals' that sucked. there's all sorts of good people there, and of course a share of blow holes. too bad you folks found some.
BTW, dropline was in well for a few days, but between my trips we got rain which funneled into the middle of it, completely splitting it into a ~2 foot deep camel toe, with a hairy weak looking mess spewed out halfway down. sure, it would have been climbable, but heaaaadyyy!
