Arthur's Rock is the HOT place to be!

Arthur's Rock was literally smokin' hot today. The climbing crew quickly became the fire crew as soon as we rolled into the area and a couple people noticed a small fire that had started right above Ode to Failure. A ranger passing by convinced Thomas to stop beating down the flames with his Organic hoodie and organized everyone to clear a fire line. They quickly got the fire under control. Although we weren't able to climb at Arthur's, great send today for everyone who kept the area from burning to a crisp.

You guys are awesome! We could use your help down here in ABQ for the massive fire in the Manzanos--how about a quick visit and fight the fire @ the same time?! :o) Can't blame me for trying!

Seriously- mad props to everyone who threw down, dug some dirt and tossed some pine straw. I'm still convinced that we were more concerned about the well being of the areas than the ranger, or the the 90-minute-tardy fire patrol. Good work crew.

So Epic. Good job everyone. That would have been really bad.

And for the record, beating the fire with a shirt is very effective

Seriously, thank you to everyone involved!

It just proved what a great group of people climbers are. Some didn't even get to climb, but i'm sure they would say their time was much better spent.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
