Any of you old school boys know the scoop on Golden Touch... Lurkist???
Who bolted it? Who allegedly chippped / glued / drilled it, and where? Who got the FA, and the order / dates that these events happened?
I know Dave Hume got the F/A but did he do that before or after the route morphed??? I also have a few of the other sorted details but would love to hear from someone who really knows.
I'd love to get an idea of what happened here if anyone really knows. I am not starting this thread to talk about the ethics of chipping just to get some historical background.
Thanks.

Don't you love it when one definition in the dictionary gives you another word you have to look up!
Squalid - 1.) Filthy 2.) Mean or poor.
um... I don't think I meant Sordid... thanks though...I learned something new.
I meant to use sorted here as short for "assorted" details... meaning of various related pieces of information.
