I am sorry to announce that this event is postponed until next year at the same time. For a variety of reasons it just didn't come together as it needs to in order to be worthwhile for everyone involved. Third time's the charm so look for it in 2019!
Sweet pic of Book of Friends what a great line. Perhaps 10 years ago some person added bolted rap stations (with rap chains) on the route, despite the fact there was an established bolted rappel on the back side. My buddy and I cleaned up the added anchors (with SB in the loop), thus preserving the traditional and committing nature of the climb.
Just noticed this event has been postponed until 2019. Might be just as well, Steve. This has been one of the most destructive fire seasons in Coconino County history. Many areas of the forest will be closing to public access in the coming week (in order to reduce the chances of human caused wildfires). Hopefully we will get a strong monsoon and winter...
Thanks again for promoting and preserving our climbing lore.
