Also, approximately 900 feet of cliff face in the Bayards and the Near Trapps is closed, including todayâ??s closure of land south of the route Eenie Meenie in the middle of the Near Trapps.

This is really sad news to hear. Has anyone contacted Access Fund to see if there are any options to keep this world-class climbing area open?
JG, it’s not the whole area, just parts of surrounding land from what I understand. Still a bad access situation.
