Climbers are Selfish....

I am - I'm totally selfish. Last night, my friend Bill and I were talking about the latest crag. If you follow my facebook, I've been calling it the "40" foot slab...that I'm going to grid bolt. Well - its starts with 40 feet of slab....

But Bill was like "Save some routes for me, I want to bolt some" and I was like "Well...I'll just have to make sure I get all the ones I want first =)"

Am I being selfish - of course I am - I got bored of doing routes at the New River Gorge proper - sending just about every route that I can do (I only climb like mid to easy 12) - so well....I got bored...so I started turning to the Meadow where the potential for new routes is incredible.

There are at least 3 more "crags" left out there almost completely untouched that are left out of the new guidebook - and another 2 crags which are "mostly developed, but not sent" and "half-way developed".

So I'll be focusing the next few seasons on establishing routes here.

Developing routes is a lot of freaking work and expensive - but I like punishment + I think it gets me into shape...anyways - stay posted....Once we finish up at the "High Density Feed Lot" and Sam gives me the go-ahead on the "Congo" we'll post those guides.

I'm sure with the New NRG book by Wolverine hitting the shelves presently, the masses will have a bunch to keep them busy.
