It's awkward and strenuous for litter bearers due to its narrowness and steep sections. Last Saturday when we hiked up to Ro, we passed at least 25 climbers coming down the trail. We could have used some help - especially when the litter had to be passed through steep, narrow sections. Also, it would have been nice to have some relief. Most of us were on the litter from Ro to the parking lot. So, if you happen to be near an accident in the future, please consider offering to help with the litter. We'd really appreciate it.

PS - I don't want to forget one climber who helped. Zac, you were great. Thanks!
do I even begin to be ashamed of being part of a group called climbers....

"Ro shampoo: this overhyped 12 is the one to the left with all the chalk. try tic tac (to the right) for a better climb, or, just go somewhere else with dozens of superior routes"
agreed or mark it 11d.

can't fix stupid people. can't fix gravity. the obvious solution?: pad the boulder and/or build a foam pit.
you're welcome.

If you can't clip the third bolt of Ro you shouldn't be climbing at any reputable crag in the country. You don't need any cleaning draws either, just take the damn swing it's perfectly safe if you know what you are doing... We need more responsible, experienced people at these "artard" attracting crags, not more chains and fixed draws.
