Saw some "recent" bolts put in on a trip there today. Was wondering who's working the crag and what the bolt ethic is at the place. Don't have any plans for bolting there but have been scouring the area and would like to get in touch with whoever is working it.

Hi there.... I was one of the developers that bolted most of what is there back in the late nineties. Most everything was bolted on rappel and little done on lead. There's anchors every 100 feet; we cleaned the loose rock at the time. Most of the routes are from 10b to 11b. There's a few 12's at the top pitch. I can send you a guide if you like. Let me know.

I would love a lil copy of the book, my friend, thank you. Assuming you have it in PDF form? Can you send one to blessusall@gmail.com whenever you get a chance? Figure the area is worth at least a little local fun. At least one other thing to keep me from sneaking into Williamson when I am up there, I guess, right? =)

Sweeeet. Right or left crag? That right side is crunchy! Look forward to checking them out what with this ^&@*! heat down here. What are the ratings?

Is information on the new routes available anywhere?

Does anybody have a higher resolution version (compared to the one at MP) of the old guide?

Thanks!

I was up there last weekend and had a blast! Really great area, I'm glad that someone put in the time and money to develop these routes. I wanted to donate money to support the development, but I couldn't find a sign with contact info and a paypal account for the FA. Anybody know where I can get in contact with him or her?

Hey Ken, I have a copy of the old one at home I can send you. I don't know if there's been an updated one to account for the new routes but you might try dropping Brent Webster a line (he's on here). Otherwise I'll dig up the pdf and send it your way.
