Ellis Rd is closed indefinitely.
Panther Creek was closed a week ago.
Tiger Creek is open.
The runoff and seepage is starting to disappear. Rated X wall and Silk Rd still have some water streaks. Most everything else is looking good. Some musty cracks still.
It's been hot but not unbearable. The shades nice. Trails need some work, cairns are still easily visible.
Beacons from Mars got many of it's upper pitch bolts replaced. All the anchors have at least one bomber bolt. A couple lead bolts still need work but they aren't too bad so it's good to go if you want to get on that.
Sole Sacrifice also got a retrofit.
Anything else?

Ellis Rd had a massive land slide that took out a large section of road last year. There is no funding to repair it and from what I hear is still very unstable. So the whole hillside needs to be re engineered to prevent future slides.
That's what I hear anyway. I could not find any useful info from an "official" source.

Cool Mike a.
The first two pitches on Sea of Holes are the only good ones on the route anyway. The last few pitches are pretty much lame and redundant easy 5th.
Were you the party we saw on a Sunday climbing Old Smokey?
We were the ones over drilling and trundling sh#t off of Beacons from Mars. Sorry about all the noise. That block was a precariously perched remnant from a recent rock fall on the route and needed to go to be able to make a safe rappel.
