I was just down there Saturday and didn't notice any of the said graffiti. Could be that I wasn't looking for it, but if it was there, it wasn't obvious. In regards to the clean up, anyone have anything I can put up at my gym (Vertical Heaven) to get some of us Ventura climbers out there to lend a hand.

A friend of mine sent me a PDF flyer for the echo clean up on 5/11 but I couldn't find mention of it on the SCMA website. Here's a link to the PDF flyer from my google docs.

Well, looks like we probably won't find the culprit. My internet sleuthing and slew of e-mails came up with nothing. Could have been anyone. BTW- So. Cal Climbers didn't have any meet-ups that weekend to they are innocent.
Like I said.. now we're back to blaming Gym climbers and Euros
David mentioned the cleanup day on May 11th. We'll get a separate thread going for that.
@BASE: If you haven't been to Echo.. hauling a generator and power-washer in there would be very difficult. It's a long hike with a very steep section at the end to get down to the cliffs.
@Reilly: Funny story LOL. I get kinda nutso with litterbugs. Good thing I don't have a gun to threaten them with.
@Willy: Giant orange arrows were definitely "obvious". You may have hiked in after I'd already removed them, or you may need to get your eyes checked for color blindness. ;)

Levy.....sorry for the late (untimely) response, but the Lookout hasn't been closed, just the southern-most formation that overlooks Yerba Buena Road. Ranger Herbaugh claimed that a rock dropped from the top would hit the center line of the road. I don't believe the face is that overhung, but the NPS is seriously concerned about their liability, so that formation ONLY has been posted, NOT the Lookout as a whole. A local climber named Russell established the routes on the south face of that formation and the NPS agreed to allow him to send the routes and then he agreed to pull the bolts and anchors.
As for the May 11th Echo Cliffs Cleanup (sponsored by the NPS & SCMA) ....that stewardship event was cancelled due to the Camarillo Springs fire. Again, the NPS was concerned about liability, as the fire was not fully contained prior to the May 11 scheduled event, so the NPS pulled the plug.
While the sign may indicate that the Lookout is closed, it only applies to the southern-most formation, which this sign is affixed to.
