I live in Page, and go down pools a few times each season. I went down today, 1.12.20, and think there might be a few updates that would benefit summit post users:
1. There are no fixed hand lines anymore. All have been removed (thankfully). To navigate the down climbs, you must conduct a proper down climb with no gear, fix your own handline from the anchor, or do a short rappel.
2. Anchors with Webbing and links have seen some wear and corrosion. For the winter, I think they will suffice. But if they are not replaced by mid summer I will re do them. I would recommend bringing some Webbing and a few quick links to anyone coming down soon.

Bolts and pitons are in good shape.
