    The overgrowth isn't that bad. Could use a weed wack in specific areas. You do have to use the entirety of The Rockets though. The detour through Torii is basically gone due to overgrowth.

    The West entrance climb is getting eroded. It looks like it's channeling water which is causing areas to wash out, which causes water to channel even more.
