Cadillac Crag in Eldo - Is there still work going on?

My partner and I recently (within the past few weeks) had planned on going up to Cadillac but saw a sign posted warning about closures due to loose rock/plans to trundle. The sign seemed kinda old but it wasn't dated.

Is this still a concern, or has the work already been completed and the sign was just left up?

In addition, there has been a recent report of a loose block on the route V3.

Park staff and members of ACE will be going up to Cadillac early on Monday, June 10 to attempt to address some of the outstanding work and the block on V3 – assuming all goes as planned.

Awesome, thanks for the info!!

Hey -

Some good work happened today. V3 had the offending block removed. "You're Ugly and ..." is much less dangerous for passersby - but I highly recommend against climbing it. There's a bad combo of big, flexing blocks, rotten tree roots, and no way to safely remove the mess. I'll take those signs down tomorrow - thanks for the patience during a busy, busy, busy spring.
