Johnny and Alex Crag Day - August 6th

Post by the lurkist »

As promised, and in response to interest folks expressed before the RRGCC Rawkus fest, I would like to invite folks to come out for the first annual (hopefully) or more frequent, Johnny and Alex Crag Day.
To recap, it had been mentioned all of the good work that the late great one had done, and all of the routes he had tagged but hadn't equipped yet. This also brought up the significant amount of trail developemnt that could be done in the Sore Heel.
So, I suggest that anyone who is interested in the mechanics of bolting a route but have never had the tutelage to do it, consider coming out. I have arranged with a few of our local drill wielding men to be on hand to offer their expertise in a mano a mano fashion.
The other half of this equation is a bunch of good old fashion maddock and pick work establishing a bit of trial in big need of establishing to open up the wall btw the Gallery and the Volunteer Wall. In case you haven't walked it, this stretch of wall will yield a bunch of really nice moderates (and is really pretty, too) that John (God Rest His Beautiful Soles) had already tagged at the base as worthy additions.
SO, lets get a show of hands for who is interested.
any takers?....

This is a fantastic idea - with so many conflicts (me too!), do you have plans for the next one, maybe in the fall?
