Ok, time to climb back up on top of my cyber soap box and yell through my webified microphone....
I am seeing way to much damage and destruction caused by rope grooves in the sandstone. 90% of all rope grooves are caused by lazy and careless canyoneers. This problem has nothing to do with natural or bolted anchors. I am seeing rope grooves caused by both type anchors because people are not taking the time to properly set sling lengths or locate anchors in a desirable location.
Please take the time to correct this problem. Just because the group in front of you did a lazy half-ass job is no excuse for you to follow suit. Do it right and lets try and eliminate rope grooves as best we can.... if you see a problem area please take the time to correct it. If everyone kicks in and helps out a little bit this problem will disappear.
Thanks for you help.... now back to our regularly schedule programing.
