Pig, who you kidding? You are too old to boulder... I could see some 4th class scrambles if you want to call that bouldering

Cool! Thanks Kipp. These kids seem real stoked to help out. We are going to build a nice infrastructure. Stairs, trails and a lot of cleaning to spruce that area up.

sorry to come in late with this but, outside the Red most trad routes go up "ground up". That is the proper way to do things . Top down is only the norm in New Ohio (Red River Gorge).
