olyclimber Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I just read that the upper wall, left of the Cheeks, is burning. Crazy...anyone have details, pics, or any other info? Quote
ivan Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 anything to make the approach to the golden arch less brushy Quote
ivan Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 there's at least a remote chance it's a meth-lab explosion Quote
olyclimber Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 "Index Upper Town Wall Fire: A fire was spotted earlier today above the Cheeks. DNR sent in a ground crew but they couldn't reach the fire so they will be using helicopters to air drop water tomorrow, Wednesday. The Upper Town Wall, Cheeks, Diamond, and Lookout WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW for public safety to contain the fire. The Lower Town Wall is OK to climb at and out of harm's way of any water drops or falling rocks/debris." Â This message came out today, July 28. Quote
genepires Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 strange cause we just got a decent rain there this weekend. Quote
Bronco Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 It'll be interesting to see how it started. Any speculation? Quote
AlpineK Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 strange cause we just got a decent rain there this weekend. Â Given the long term drought, rain over the weekend didn't do much more than knock down the dust. Quote

olyclimber Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Looks like there was/is a fire burning at the top of the upper wall down onto it. Â Edited August 13, 2015 by olyclimber Quote
Bronco Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I doubt it, there wasn't any lightning when it started. Probably human related cause. Dirty hippies... Quote
