Rogil says, "I don't doubt this story is true. I clean this very place to reduce the enticement value of the coins. My rock climbing club, along with Arizona rescue groups, removes litter from the south rim of the Grand canyon. We rappel down and pussik back up. We give the (international) coins to the canyon's search and rescue crew. The work attracts adrenaline junkies that prefer a good view while they work." |
