I found this in the climber's registration box at Wall of the 90s last week. It is dated August 11, and gives no indication exactly what route is referenced.
Looks like somebody pulled it down and stuck it in the box.
I called Mary Bonnell and left a message on her machine this morning.
I'd be curious if anybody has more insight?

CCC notice.

I know they had an incident with some highline anchors that were questionable. I believe it has been resolved.

I was at a meeting for Jefferson County Open Space Trails last night. They mentioned the concerns for unsafe fixed hardware, especially given the huge numbers of bolts on Jefferson County Open Space. They cited the small but increasing numbers of bolt failures being reported as they age or deteriorate. They are working on developing a climbing management plan.

They are planning on hosting a discussion of the plan on November 19 from 6-8pm at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden. Consider attending to be involved in the process.

Got a couple of call backs from the Jeff Co Ranger, much appreciated. We've been playing phone tag though. Apparently it was a highline anchor issue.
If anything new surfaces I'll update.
I'm working the night of the 19th, hope others can make that meeting.

Pretty odd way to try to entice a perpetrator into contacting them, essentially saying please contact us, you are liable for $350 in fines.

Speaking with some of the JCOS folks, they cited that these anchors were truly substandard equipment risking injury to others.

Update: my understanding is that the will show a photo of these substandard bolts at the Nov. 19 meeting at the AMC in Golden.

"Unlawful Improvements" so needs a route to go with the name....
