I dont know if its possible, but maybe some signage warning people to stay out of that area might be an idea?



Sorry to hear though. RIP

I am on the BOD for the club and I have brought this up already and we will be discussing what can be done further to help prevent this.

Might end up worse. Lots of people think they are Chris Burandt in the sport. Then they find out they aren’t. Might be better less people know about it. Who knows.

Condolences to the family and friends. I hate hearing about these incidents!

Not good news. Reaffirms the need for manufacturers to get together and share buddy tracking.

I am not familiar with the names of the Boulder area. Can someone mark this photo and show where the toilet bowl is?

I have been to the far left of that trail map, I think someone mentioned that where the BISO was held on the far left? . I dropped into a bowl along the way to the end of the trail.

The stars are cabin markers I added to the map.
