Thanks for the historical info. I've always wondered what the reason for the climbing/bolting ban was, and that's some good insight. You mention 150+ miles of "user defined trails". What does that mean? Are those unsanctioned trails made "illegally" without the permission of the ...

Good advice from milspec - if you are looking to ball on a budget, you can use this site and print out paper notes. Works very well. Good 11d's and 12a's? Holy shit, there's a million.

Hell yea! I saw that picture on Facebook and tried to like it a million times, but it would only let me do one. The cave looks WAY different with no chalk or permas. Awesome!

Orange Juice. I went to Funk Rock and got agonizingly close to getting on it. But unfortunately every single person at the crag was in line for it. I probably would have done it though, so I ticked it in my book. And downgraded it.
