Has anybody heard anything about the other areas that might be affected by the possible "Archaeologica/Geological Area" designation changes?

The USFS continues to assess additional routes for potential closure where conflicts with archaeological resources may exist. Nothing is final yet and the RRGCC will continue to interact with the USFS on this.

What are the 3 bolted routes between "Physically Strong, Mentally Awake, and Morally Straight" and "Be Prepared"? Right around the corner. They look 80+ feet. I didn't climb them but was currious if they are finnished or a project.

There are three routes to the right of Johnny Be Good that are not on the on-line guidebook.
Immediately right of Johnny is a 5.8 sport climb. I would describe it as: 10 feet right of Johnny is a bolted line with a wet mossy start, but don't let that stop you. After the moss you'll be amazed at this classic and fun line. Climb a ladder fin up to a bulge with impossibly big holds. Whether you climb 5.8 or 5.12, this is a must do. Number of bolts unknown, 65 feet.
Anyway, to the right of that is a bolted line which is missing the second and third bolt. It still has a pink tag. I believe it was Johnny's line. To the right of that is another bolted line that probably goes 5.10d or so.
Ryan probably knows more about these lines, he showed them to me. I've been waiting to see them on the guidebook and went back to them this weekend.

The one with the pink tag is one of Johnny's last routes and the bolts have been pulled for a reason so please respect that. Thanks Sco Bro for mentioning it here.
But other than that I know nothing, ask Rhino.
