Old Original - rappelling off the tree in the meadow?

[Brad Young]

Yep, we use the same way. I worked long and hard on writing it up clearly. Moot right now of course with the cave closed.

Thanks, that's good to know, though I haven't used the decent in years. I've reversed the rappels several times via the route to the left and found it pretty good.The two bolts are hard to find and another wouldn't hurt. Then only a single rap remains.

More on the graffiti — the rangers indicated that the crime is the subject of a federal investigation. It strikes me that the feds might need a poke to consult the Monterey County gang task force. Those folks are up to the minute on tags and could help identify the culprits.

Adam, I'll work this over with you. The new written description is a big improvement and describes two ways to descend from below the class four traverse (one to the caves and one to their east then around Balconies Cliff Trail).

Will you spend a day with me on this? I'd love to have you first test drive the new description. And then it wouldn't take much work by two of us to make both use-trails fairly clear. Email me to talk schedules?

May I make a suggestion?
You already have two options written for the new text.
Before the description for the two options say "If the cave is closed - use option B, otherwise use option A.
Boom - you're done.

Good idea, JC.

Actually, that would only take a small, additional parenthetical comment, an easy add.

My thanks to "Hardcore History."

In regards to the Balconies cave graffiti - I may end up assisting (in work capacity as an employee with the park) with removal of spray-painted sections. We're still waiting on some compliance issues to get resolved but hopefully we'll start work on graffiti removal soon.

Brad, I can go over the new descriptions with you next week if you’re around.

[Brad Young]

Adam, how about a day in December? I’m pretty open in December.

I’m in Eugene Oregon right now and will be home late this coming week. I’ll email you.
