I've only been riding DCC for a couple years but I am curious what it used to look like. Does anyone have pictures of the wall prior to 2012? I can imagine it is way more eroded than in the past.

You have no idea. The Wall has changed *SO* much since the mid-90's.

Here's a YouTube of successful *climb* of The Wall back in '08 (I think):

It's crazy! I can't imagine cleaning it from bottom to top these days. I looked at the KOM (down) and thought, "There's no way they cleaned that in 16 seconds!". Then, I noticed that was in 2012...

It's even a tad easier right now than last fall.
Just went last week & noticed some places had been recently worked on since my last visit.

One of my faster times was over the winter. A couple feet of snow really smooths out the bumps.

I really wish I took pictures over the last 20 years. It's become a lot harder, or maybe I'm just getting older. Still one of my favorites on the front range.

Those handlebars in the video though...
