I would just like to point out that the weather pattern over the past few weeks has been cold and wet, quickly changing to warm and sunny. This alternating pattern is the same one that contributed to the accident at Lake Lincoln last year, since it causes rapid expanding and contracting of the rock. Climbers should take extra caution on yellow, red, and otherwise non-gray sandstone formations, as they are the most likely to be in crumbling condition.

I am planning on climbing at LL this spring and would like to hear what happened and thanks for the word on the rock.
