I guess that means we'll have to leave Rick in the car with the windows cracked.

There is a $75 fee payable to RRGCC, although you can save $20 if you bring your own shoes, harness, ill-fitting helmet, and sack lunch.

Bill, when standing on the new bridge and looking up Gladie creek is this prominent arete on the left or right side of the drainage ? As far as I can figure the Trace follows the left side of the drainage on out of sight. Is the sinkhole about 30/40 ft. off the left side of the Trace after crossing the first creek ? Maybe 1000' up from this creek. I'll try to hook up with Johnny F. for info on the Holes. Climb Safe.

I think he'd be psyched to preregister for the adventure, too - especially if we make plans now for some distant date, as he's a big fan of making plans for climbing at the Red far in advance. ;)

Deal! I've got my blue sperm whale helmet shined and ready to go!

It is on the left side of the Gladie Creek drainage looking upstream, the side that the Sheltowee Trace is on. Did I say hand crack? It was late when I posted that. It's more likea fist crack from what I remember. In anycase for this line, my first FA in RRG, it was an onsite ;)

But for some reason now I'm getting interested... Should we round up Hammon and have at it, oh, sometime before Christmas?
