RESTRICTIONS: -no new route development or placement of bolts -slings must not be placed on trees (suitable anchor placement is available to prevent this) -rappelling is not permitted with the exceptions of established rap stations on Thunder Crack, The Slab, Saucer Lucy, and in emergencies Camping and boat service (on organized dates) is available specifically for ACC members.
