oh god ONE boulder, come off of it. it was a nice boulder, it has history to it, {then again so does the whole park(most of which is older than some climbing)} but really it's ONE place. just like the people that bitch about Military. it's just one SECTION of cliff; not the whole thing.
we have no right for the most part acccept it and keep climbing.

the cultural value of that particular boulder, love it or not, far exceeds the valuce of flora and fauna in the dirt. those guys are total assholes for shutting it down and are really just trying to make the climbers uncomfortable in some half-baked idea that we will stop coming.

It can not be a coincidence that the Mushroom boulder might the finest boulder in the country and it gets closed.
Bummer.
I guess now we have to settle for the Mushroom Boulder replica they made at the Spot in Boulder, CO.
Or...
Lets go clip some bolts(for the full effect you gotta sing it).

i know it's just one boulder, but sadly, the problem "mushroom roof" had been keeping me up at night (lame but true). i was so close last year, and we almost went there for break (virtually days before the closure took place), but allah was not game. i tore him a new b-hole when i found out it closed lol. i'll get over it, but i was pretty disappointed. it's tough when you have a project...

i am so glad i sent mushroom roof. i am still pissed at those guys. I would love to try for the triple crown (hueco version, right el murray, center el murray and mushroom roof in a day). i will probably wont be in shape for that for a while but you never know. i hate the park service there... what assholes!!!!

merrick the triple crown is all three murrays not mushroom and two murrays.
