Exit 38, Actual Cave, Possible Climbing Hazards

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I visited the actual cave at 38 and found a large fire ring that someone has been burning in for a while. My friends and I pitched a large quantity of wood out of the cave (took 5 min to empty cave) and restored the floor of the cave to non-charred rocks. Bummer.

 

So the hazard is that the fire was underneath many fixed draws with synthetic slings/ dog bones, slings that were a little dated to begin with. Also, the cave is full of loose blocks that are not normally introduced to rapid heating. It did appear that the fires were large. In theory this could make the blocks even more suspect than they already were. Maybe a stretch... Maybe not. And the conditon of the bolts... And soot in the roof..

 

Just want people to be informed. Thanks.
