Fun Downclimbs!

The second bolt on Desperado (5.10+) broke under body weight according to a sign in the ranger station. <br>

This photo shows the air pollution in Juarez immediately after a huge rain, so this is a good day. After observing a possible relationship between polluted rain from Denver and weaker bolts, I'm hypothesizing that air pollution increases the rate of bolt corrosion at Hueco. <br>

Don't mess with Texas! Or so the saying goes.<br>

No wonder the custodians of Hueco Tanks are so protective. This is just 15 minutes from the park!
