But my opinion came leaking through that wilderness managers feel they are doing their assigned mandate by blocking nearly all access to the wilderness, instead of exploring other possible options.
However, removing the cables completely WAS mentioned as one possible scenario in a public information meeting held at REI here in Fresno by Yosemite NP staff last spring.
What.
IMO the THs are way the heck too close to a lot of places. I cannot tell you how disppointed I was
when hiking up to Lamarck Col. from Ev. Lake only for it to hit me that the TH on the
east is a measly 5 miles away (ok, actually it was a group hiking up from the other side)
Darwin Canyon lost all it allure to me then... esp. since ended up seeing a number of people in
the Canyon and Bench. Was irritated didn't go up towards the Keyhole instead...
You can count me firmly on the removing the cables side.
