forrest_m Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) wait, i thought those crags were temporarily closed while access issues get worked out? or was that just a halt on new bolts? or did that situation get resolved? not trying to bait you guys, just curious if anyone knows the lowdown. Â edited to add: i answered my own question, i guess it's just new development that's on hold. from the online guide website : Â We are now in communication with the Access Fund and the National Park Service regarding the development of a climbing use plan for the Newhalem / Diablo climbing and bouldering areas. The National Park Service is very positive about climbing recreation within the park but have asked us to halt all new route development and trail building (including bolting, cleaning, moss removal, and rock removal to clear landings) until a management plan is in place. At this point it looks very likely that the plan will allow sport climbing and bouldering development to continue.

icegirl Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 many thanks to Andrew S. and Misha M. (and those I names I can't remember) for the time and effort on those beautiful routes... Â Totally worth it if you are hard climber. Only one 5.9 last time I was out there, and they go up up up from there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I thought was textbook 5.13 technique? Â No no no, ascenders are strictly big walls; trad implements. 5.13 technique is strictly stick clips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
