Start of Borderline

Just a note to whoever is cleaning the line to the right of the start of Borderline. 10b face was just filthy, every hold covered in dust and grime. If you continue cleaning the your route, also please clean up the start of Borderline, as all the fine debris ends up on a super classic of the area.

Re: Heli evac off north walls

People got delayed climbing on Angels Crest due to a horribly injured climber. Is this really something to whine about?
