Agreed. When we gonna do that?
I agree that it needs rebolting soooo badly. Many or most of the bolts are 5/16 inch buttonheads that are just over an inch into the rock. I wonder if they'd actually hold a lead fall. It's great to see people who historically will go there during heat both interested in getting to it (at least I think that's what I'm seeing).
And momentum in the park is toward opening up. You two live in more urban counties than I do, but aren't they opening up too?
We went in for day-use on the West Side last Friday and it worked just fine (the gate is open 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.). I think the East Side is now open for day use too.
But one glitch: that part of the High Peaks Trail is still closed, with multiple signs at the junctions that bear strong warnings not to pass. I think the Park is worried about Covid spreading from hands to the handrails at the Steep and Narrows to other hands. I haven't looked on the Park's web site, but I'm probably repeating what's there already.
