Status Reports

Trail was pretty easy getting to the “rock wall”. Water holes where you would expect them were shallow. Easy to access. Rock wall was cool!

More areas to climb since the illegal section is open now. Love the new wall climb. The steps are undercut in some spots. Marblehead is always a great time.

Trail has been completely bulldozed flat. Large rubble piles reminiscent of a war zone line the trails edge. The mini-steps are completely gone and once at Marblehead, 1/3 of the steps are missing. Just massive piles of rubble in the trees from what was once part of the main Marblehead steps. Access can now be had with any 2wd car or SUV.
