Hey Hoyne, for a few moments I actually thought that I was going to become a permanent part of the rock. I should have been smarter and climbed it to the outside of the squeeze chimney like you did when you led it, but I was really curious to see if I could fit through it or not.

Sorry no pics. And I learned my lesson on Caver's Route... I don't fit well in tiny places.

I thought I was stuck in Cavers once. I had a beaner hung on a pebble! It was too funny!

Thanks to all for your hard work. You guys are awesome, especially the Webers. We have such a beautiful place to climb, along with some very caring caretakers.
I do wish the Rising could be rebolted. I'd pay for the glue in's if needed.

Hi Rick, tx for the fantastic work accomplished.
Coming from Indiana, for 1 climbing day can you let me know, before we planned our trip down to Kentucky, if the sanctuary at the Rebel camp branch has been checked and is now opened for climbing.
tx, for all

As more routes are inspected and re-opened, it is becoming clear that they are in very good shape overall -- especially compared to other climbing areas in the Red. Just two loose hangers found in hundreds inspected, and they weren't even close to pulling out.
Open routes are marked with green or yellow ribbons on the lower hangers.
The Sanctuary is still mostly closed, as these high-difficulty routes are taking more time to inspect. Last fall, we closed several Sanctuary routes to replace some of the steep angle mechanical bolts with glue-ins. This work is continuing. Jesus Wept and Prometheus Unbound are both open. Do not climb Triple Sec (aka 50 Bucks) as it has had some of the mechanical bolts removed in preparation for glue-in installations.
Great work, developers and inspectors!
Rick
