new boulder counts as a new area? but new crag with 3 new bolted routes doesnt?

Red Cliff Campground....I guess I am just not hip enough to add a new area? No i did not bolt it, but I did not see any qualifications stating 'must know who bolted it and have there blessing to be deemed worthy to add it to our high and mighty list of all routes' Just kinda disappointed to see a boulder on the way to lava lake be deemed worthy of being considered a new area, but 3 new routes on a totally different cliff band than the main wall not be considered a new area? I suppose I will here it from all the keepers of the secret flame for even trying to show a little bit of excitement about a couple of new routes at my local crag.

"Our contact system is second only to poor area descriptions" as I read on I couldn't help but laugh at how awesome that admin's response was.

+1 for admins clearing out the junk...so many times i wish i could completely re-write route and area descriptions.

P.S. it seems to me that unknown new routes at a Boulder crag that you have not yet tried to climb is better left as a forum discussion, like, "anyone know anything about these new routes..."

As for up to date info based on actual experiences, I give you a resounding 'Ha!'. Much of the info regarding red cliff is dated and slightly inaccurate. Thank you all for being way superior and better than I, simply trying to update my local crag, I will send them this weekend bra and give you the super beta. Call the waambulance now while a slap, crawl and toprope my way up.

and @rob? important? climbing? Although it is a fun distraction climbing is in no way important, though many people sure think it is, it is just an extremely good way to waste time, just like skiing.

It's probably for the misuse of here and there.
