I never knew that the Statler Brothers climbed back in the day. I figured they wouldn't have had time with all their touring and tv appearances.

TK you hit the nail on the head.but there are a few good things scattered among the choss. but only to keep you in shape for better stuff in the red or other s east crags. i would say the glue ups are the best place, or go to the gym and fight off ankle biters.
