Harrison Bluffs Trail/Route Status Update

[marc_leclerc]

There's been a good deal of trail clearing and cleaning happening at the Harrison Bluffs. Here's a quick update:

 

Trail to the 'East Wall' and East Wall boulders is clear with a couple minor trees on the trail.

 

Trail to the Falcons Crest Wall is clear, just follow markers over the top of 'Crystal Ether', switchback up the ledges and follow ledge west to the base of the climbs.

 

Trail to 'Up to Here' is now clear, before followign the last ledge to the Falcons Crest Wall go up the slab (pink rope) and traverse ledge East to the very end, flex up another fixed line and follow the trail up the gulley to the wall.

 

To get to the top of 'Tubby and His Pal' and the top of the 'Change Room' wall follow a trail branching right out of the gulley just past the fixed rope on the 'Up to Here' trail.
