Unless you’ve got climbing gear, you’re not going to easily get to the top of East Anacapa Island. NPS was actually in front of this problem and had decided to replace the decades-old ladder last spring. Unfortunately, a recent inspection showed that corrosion has rendered the ladder unsafe ahead of schedule.

OK, so what’s the problem? When will the new ladder be ready?

The really big problem is that a recent inspection of the crane that they use to offload materials from boats and was slated to be used in the ladder construction was also deemed unsafe.

NPS was in front of this. No one got hurt and the problem will get solved.

    Coming back from cruz last week we decided to round Anacapa on our way back to Ventura. We did see a tug and rather large barge pushed up against the cliff. Ur blog now explains why..hehe
