Tomorrow morning, May 16th, from 06:00 to 09:00, the west side of Redgarden Wall will be closed. During that time, climbers will inspect and possibly mitigate loose blocks on the Yellow Spur and Psycho Pigeon. Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

Some awesome people have already stepped up for tomorrow's duties, but I'm always looking for early morning volunteers to help with trail closures.

Thanks for arranging this and looking out for public safety in eldo!

This morning, danger blocks from P4 of Yellow Spur and P1 of Psycho Pigeon were sent groundward. Two members of ACE climbed and trundled, and three volunteers from BCC and JHMG closed the trail.

BIG thanks to everybody involved!

I lost a park radio from the top of Tower one when the bracket broke off during the rappel [doh!] - it probably landed on the ledge uphill from the Vertigo raps. If you are going that way, please look around for it.

Trundle video is uploading.

Huge thanks for taking the time to get those pushed off. I can personally attest to the potential danger that was lurking up there from a recent ascent.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
