The climb ...Actually, easier than you might think. The climb can be treacherous but the first third or so has cables or chain handrails which could easily be removed. When I visited in the late 1980's, guides were already recommending that we not climb and we didn't.wickershawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682075850308079533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-4850375787157572822018-07-18T16:31:35.949-05:002018-07-18T16:31:35.949-05:00I believe the article indicated that the lead time...I believe the article indicated that the lead time was done to accommodate visitors who had already planned trips.Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-19803314569116338542018-07-18T16:04:32.046-05:002018-07-18T16:04:32.046-05:00Amazing that they need to warn people over a year ...Amazing that they need to warn people over a year in advance that they will not be allowed to climb the rock anymore.<br />If something needs doing, just do it. <br />A fence, a wall, a lot of electrical hazards ... what ever.<br />It's like banning those non compostable coffee things, just do it now, not in 4 years time.WilliamRockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353376414079333348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-36712269851443930932018-07-18T04:07:04.747-05:002018-07-18T04:07:04.747-05:00I first visited the Rock over 40 years ago, and I ...I first visited the Rock over 40 years ago, and I climbed it because that was what we did in those days.
