    Yes, everytime someone falls off Half Dome or Angels Landing, some "body" yells that it should be closed.

    It was closed last fall - for repairs... they fixed up a couple sections of the trail.

    No it is not on the list of things to close. Neither is Half Dome (though the latter requires a permit on weekends, sigh...).

    Are you some kinda closet Darwinian? I am trying to reconcile this position with your insistence on helmets in canyons. Of course that could be enlightened self-interest: Fewer head injuries = fewer rescues = less regulations and restrictions.

    Closet? No closet here. Check this out: http://tinyurl.com/bababrinkman

    Whatever do you mean?

    It is not the Park Service's job to protect us from having adventures in the wild natural terrain of the National Parks.

    From a Darwinian perspective, the few who insist their head is hard enough already might be selected out. But, us humans have short-circuited the whole survival of the fittest concept - almost everybody reproduces regardless of fitness.

    Despite all odds, Homo canyonus evolves on the Colorado Plateau.
