Hi Dave,

I'm not even going to hazard a guess on this one. When an area will open is dependant on so many things and at this stage the areas haven't been properly assessed. The fire is still going in some parts. While the fire might go through an area, sometimes, it will burn longer and hotter in one section and then quickly burn over another giving you totally different outcomes for the areas recovery. And then again you might even have a pocket where it completely skips. I know some early aerial assessment has started and be sure that I will fill you in as soon as I have some useful information. I know everyone is really eager to know but I would plan your climbing trips around other areas towards the north. That way your plans won't be mucked up..Fire is still going in some sections so staff are still involved in that.
