Realistically how many people care about a dirty boulder that was apparently in the middle of the trail near the Yellow Wall


more than you think.

and Terrie. Thank you for the comment that you left. I do understand why it was created but it could not be worked around it?

I'm not a boulderer but I find it crass and rude that so many of you are dismissive and insulting towards something that other people are concerned about. I don't give a shit about sit starts but then many boulderers may not give a shit about the easy trad climbs that I love. The fact that they don't see their value doesn't give them authority to harm such routes. Look outside yourselves, people, and have a basic respect for others and their pursuits. It sounds like the trail crew made a mistake so I'm not directing this at them. It's the posters here that are so presumptuous to back up an action that the trail crew themselves might likely apologize for.

if i was concerned about a sit start i would just remove the rocks that were put in place. saves a lot of crying time and then you may even get to trundle. surely with the X in your name you have enough rebellion in you to do so. imo F the sit start do high ball instead

it is not as simple as removing a few small boulders to access the start. a good portion of the trail will need to be destroyed in doing so. just trying to do the right thing. spoke with lots of local climbers(not just boulders) and they too are not so happy with this situation.

btw: rebels don't cry! and don't tell me about highballs. i'm still a mystery to you.

Then get permission to fix it so that every one will be happy! Assuming there are no other concerns I can't imagine anyone will care if you are willing to do the work.

But, we can't give you that permission.
