A few more photos. Anyone have any idea if the the glyphs are modern or old? They appear to be painted on using some odd 3-color technique: pale yellow, light color that reacted with the granite, and a shiny metallic that is not tarnished. The ceiling glyph is entirely metallic paint. I took some azimuth bearings on possible directional indicators. It may make for some interesting hiking to see if more markers can be found on the bearings. If anyone is interested in pursuing this further message me. You will need to be a very capable back-country off-trail hiker.
