Hello Folks;    Just got back from a day in Marble Canyon with Gary Wolkoff and Lyle Knight.  The day started with more cloud than anticipated which played a role in the days objectives. We had to settle for Sisyphus via the 5.10+ direct first pitch start. Of significant concern was the missing nut and hanger from bolt 3 and 5. I will be there next week(Tuesday?) and I will replace them for sure.
While we finished the final pitch the rains came. What was significant here was how little amount of rain it took to start moving small rocks.  Even small rocks are sharp and can cut facial skin easily. Something to keep in mind if the clouds really open up.    Cheers Bob Andreychuk ARG
