Is this going to be in the online guidebook anytime soon?

Sure I’ll plug it in if I get the info from Troy. Cheers to more developed sandstone in Kentucky. I bet the Richmond people are psyched. I do hope someone takes the drone away from whoever made that promo though.

Rule #22. The Cathedral Domain requires that all climbers must use a clip stick to the first anchor before beginning any climbing route.

Stick clip to the First set of anchors? That's a long stick clip and does that mean there is multi pitch routes?

Yes, there is 2 bolt anchor every 10 feet which makes a lot of the routes 3-4 pitches!

I think you missed climbing 101 on the definition of an anchor, per wikipedia: "In rock climbing, an anchor can be any device or method for attaching a climber, a rope, or a load to the climbing surface, typically rock, ice, steep dirt, or a building - either permanently or temporarily. The intention of an anchor is case-specific but is usually for fall protection, primarily fall arrest and fall restraint."

Oh right, I forgot we call every "bolt" an anchor now. That must have happened in the last week or so.

Even Merriam Webster knows! Anchor: 8. mountaineering : a fixed object (such as a tree or a piton) to which a climber's rope is secured.

I hear if you pray for 10 min in the parking lot you can get in free AND you can free solo.

Never said it was incorrect, just not typical. Funny in the 7 years we have been climbing you've never used that terminology for bolts...

Legal documents and verbiage is often purposefully broad or all encompassing, I would have wrote it the same way.

The video claims the routes are "professionally bolted". Who certifies these professionals and what are their credentials? Seriously though, I wonder if that claim might open them or a bolter up to liability if something goes wrong.

Troy bolted them and I think there was some sort of compensation involved. That might imply a contract and thus enter into a professional relationship. Unless Troy is sitting on millions I don't know about, it would be the church with the assets that someone would go after.
