Went to the GC on sunday and saw this...

numerous large blocks have fallen off the middle wall on the rightside(north wall).. the creosote bushes are completely destroyed where the rocks hit the ground.

You PURPOSELY went to Gun Club even though it didn't rain the day before???  But seriously, were any routes impacted?

Lol.... while I agree that the gun club sux, it does have its charm as well.... plus I was in the zoo all day sat.( u should try “all that jazz”... it’s an interesting climb) 

Heres a pic where I circled the area I think it fell from(but I’m not for sure, it’s the only spot that looked somewhat fresh) and the x is a bolt on the route....however most people make the moves sorta out to the right in that section so I don’t think it was someone climbing... but def don’t know for sure. I also thought that it might be kids pushing them from the top as the area is easy to access.

All That Jazz in the hills or is there another All That Jazz I dont know about? SOOOOO good. Apparently it can be done as 1 pitch on a 70, but we did it in 3 pitches on a 60m. 

I am HEARTBROKEN about the Gun Club lines, though. I might even leave work early due to my grief!! HAHAHA!

 It’s under a different name...btw, you cant do it  all in one pitch, it takes 2...you can do it as  1& 2-3 or 1-2 & 3... w/ a 70m.
