Nice try TK, but I can smell a bluff a mile away due to my extensive experience with bluffing. This crag isn't even on the map it's so remote.

I know where that is. It's not quite in the gorge is it?

I could start the disinformation defcom 3 phase, but I'm pretty sure only 3 people have been there and two of them couldn't find it with a map. Anyway, they are sworn to secrecy. One thing is for sure, it is NOT where you think it is although it does look like somewhere most of you have been.

Okay, Ray. So it's now $30 is advertising space on the board. I'm thinking a scrolling banner with flashing golden pitons around Team Safety until it's time to vote for the GPA recipient. Not much to ask for I wouldn't think! By your silence, I will assume you agree to these terms and it will be Batguano's turn to up the ante.

I'll pitch in some cash to support your efforts Johnny!
Just genuinely disengenuous.

Wow! We always knew that Team Safety had an incredible fan base and that we were cheated last year due to the Western bias, but it's just great to feel the love from you all. Does anybody have a personal relationship with the editors of Climbing Magazine?

John-boy, I think you are going about this wrong. See, the magazine editors have no real power. The just publish what the equipment venders tell them to. So, what you need is SPONSERS. Once the cash start rolling in from the major gear companies, you will be a lock for a GPA.
