Heads up,
Leaving the crag today saw forest service post up a big sign saying they are closing for construction of the new shortcut trail from parking lot 1 to parking lot 2 from the 19th to the 21st

Plan ahead

Bump - Yes, this Wednesday through Friday while they are doing the blasting. Potential $5000 fine. Not sure I would want to be hanging out below the Main Cliff while the they are blasting anyway.

Weird.. The sign posted 19-21st, but the WMNFS site and RCA site both say 17-19th.

Heres another link to RCA Website Construction Update

"The Forest Service is closing National Forest lands in the Rumney climbing area during the blasting phase of the trail project as they feel this will best provide for public safety. The period of closure is currently listed as November 17-19th.

On Monday, November 17th and Tuesday, November 18th lane closures on Buffalo Road will continue to take place. Staying clear of all lower crags while they’re hammering away at the rock is advised. The Forest Service is concerned that additional rock fall may occur at certain crags during the blasting event and that is why Rumney will be closed. A handful of crags are on private land, but it’s heavily advised to avoid all areas until the blasting period is over. The parking lots will be closed and will not be accessible during the closure."

Rumney will be closed the 24th, 25th, 26th, and 28th. So HBTHREE: yes, it will be closed the day after Thanksgiving. Rumney will be open on Thanksgiving and open on the following weekend (Saturday/Sunday).

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
