I visited the Access Fund web site the other day in search of their policy on bolting in wilderness. I was surprised to see they had changed there stance to one the I agree with more. I am considering re-joining and lending my support. But I would like to know if you can share with us, as our local Access Fund rep, some examples of this policy in action. Show me some evidense of the application of this policy.
TK, is this the 7/1/03 question you are referring too? It is unclear to me whether you were asking this questions to the RRGCC or to Shannon directly as a representative of the Access Fund?

There are times when someone will demand answers in public. When these answers are not presented on a platter within 2 minutes, why should we get all bent out of shape?
After a long day, Gretchen took the time to post in the middle of the night. I didn't see a thank you from JH, or any gratitude.
Shannon took important time away from her busy schedule (as well) to answer JH and included ample explanations.
Perhaps in the future we could be a little more thankful. All authors posting questions to the coalition could in fact be a little more honest, and show a little bit more respect by (at the very least) saying thank you.
The view I am expressing above are my personal views on the matter - my personal views to the hard workers dedicated in preserving our climbing. I personally thank you very much for all the hard perseverance that benefits OUR climbing.

There is no bolting in the wilderness here.
At least by what I would call wilderness. The Big Sinkin' isn't really wilderness. There is no bolting on FS land without their permission.

Sorry JH. (I changed it) Now, get back to the library, and get your research done.

heartfelt thanks to Gretchen, Shannon (you're my access hero!) et and all of the volunteers that make up the RRGCC. Your work does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. I'm glad I have people like you working for climbers in the Red!

Vic's and Lateralus' comments of appreciation towards the RRGCC probably mirror many people's views. Having served in a similar capacity in the past, it is often a thankless job and if not for their commitment and dedication to the cause they believe in, we would all suffer.
It would be great to take a moment to think about how you could support the RRGCC and their/our efforts, and then act on thoses thoughts. Me included.
