Lease agreement reached until 2037. Climbing only open Dec 1 to March 31st. I didn't see a sauratown section in MP (or maybe I missed it). Put the pdf guide looks pretty good itself.

The lack of Sauratown section on MP has been addressed in another thread (linked below).

The subject of this thread is a bit off. Should be Sauratown leased by CCC. We don’t own the cliff (and if we did we would likely not lease it to ourselves).

Thanks Brian!  I hadn't slept much before typing out the subject.

Are they going to address the issue with all the bad bolts up there. Last time I was there I said I would never go back because the bolts were in such bad shape and I also most of the good routes were off the area the CCC had permission for us to climb on. Is it still only the left side and has anyone talked about rebolting it to fix all the shit up there?

Huh? Ever since we got the cliff reopened we have had access to the entire area. Not sure where you got that idea from.

A number of bolts have been replaced, but there are still some to go. That being said, many of the ones I have pulled were not bad. They were carbon steel instead of stainless, but in good shape. As with all fixed gear, use your best judgement.

Good majority of the bolts have been upgraded to SS. All that I have replaced looked bad on the outside but ended up still being in good shape. People will find anything to complain about...
