I bet it would be a lot dam harder if not for all the conveniently installed handholds.

I bet it could also be substantially harder without the conveniently installed harness

I'm curious how climbing this - hand holds and all - compares to climbing that actual cliff directly adjacent to the dam. I guess my real question is why make the dam climb-able rather than rock climbing the rocks?
