Check the guidebook bolt count and factor in about $6.50/bolt including everything (bit, glue, bolt, nozzle, etc.)... including 2 for the anchor... plus $10/permadraw if you want to go big.
I'm pony-up for the SSGIs for Hugh's route Take That Katie Brown.

This is great! SSGI's would be a huge improvement.
I also really like the idea of the route adoption. A nice way to feel personally connected to your donations.

Let me know when the gear is in, and I will bolt on each time I go out.

Totally happy to help. I'll start w/ donating. I don't have any bolting skills to date, but I can use a drill and am willing to learn. I can also belay--assuming someone may need a belay to get up on a route?

I will take Stain. Let's figure out a way to formalize this process... Ray, can you make the magic happen?

Between Ray and Blake we will get something better up soon... hopefully one of those computer geekwizards will be willing. In the meantime, I will post a caveman technology list up at the end of the day with routes, sponsors, and $.
Thanks!!
