Re: Buddy checks, a thing of the past?

Definitely not a thing of the past. Always check. Always. If anyone thinks they are too experienced to need to check, they won't be climbing much longer. Mistakes can and will happen. Ask John Long.

Re: Guide to routes at Big South Fork

What kind of climbing are you looking for? I don't have a lot of mileage there, but I can tell you there is all types of climbing there.

Re: A Not So First Ascent - What did we climb?

Thanks for the writeup, Jesse. I really hope someone knows some history on this route. We have had one guess of Duke's Day at Pinch-em Tight, however I do not believe this is it. While not a classic, I feel it is a worthwhile route. If anyone is over at Jewel Pinnacle and wants to get another decent...

Re: Trail Maintenence and Power Tools

If accepted, does this mean that RRGCC will be able to set up official trail work days in DBNF? That is, with the approval of Forest Service.

Re: Trail Maintenence and Power Tools

Thanks for the info. I will be very interested to hear how the MOU is taken. I will leave off any work more than clearing small deadfall until I hear otherwise.
