the evidence before us suggests otherwise.




Perhaps the FIRST people to do this were very careful and highly skilled in rigging. But now that anyone with a GoPro, a Red Bull and rope is...

Twin Corral Box is a large canyon SYSTEM with many forks, of which Alcatraz is a minor fork. Calling it "Twin Corral Box" would be lame, as it is far from the main stem of that canyon. Calling it...

When rigging a biner block, it is a GOOD idea to secure the pull side to the anchor, as a matter of habit. Thus, if someone selects the wrong strand, it becomes funny-haha, rather than WTF.

I've talked to the landowner once when we ran into him out there in a rainstorm. He did not have a problem at that time with people respectfully using his land. However, in the fall, he locks the...

The approach slab in Keyhole was bolted to give a conspicuous anchor to all those parties that go off and put slings around a tree to rappel into Keyhole. I have removed 3 sets of slings that people...

These instances were done with the Park's approval to solve specific impact problems in these high-use canyons.

You mean, "it". If you are referring to Constrychnine.
