Sweet! Thanks for posting this. More routes at Staunton! Looking forward to your trail day up there. You still need more people to sign up?

Sorry about the busted link. Thanks for fixing that Dan! We are completely filled up for the trail day (YAY!), so I will be sending out an email to everyone who signed up with directions to where we will be parking. Thanks for everyones input!

A great question that was emailed to me was about the proposed addition of a bolt to an existing line (retrobolt). Typically we do not include the applicant's name to avoid a bias and just judge the application on its own merits, but in this case it should be known that the applicant is the first ascentionist. The rationale for the application of an additional bolt was a result of multiple climbers who can onsight the grade backing off as the crux piece (cam) is in somewhat questionable rock and if it blew, you'd deck. Just more info if you want it.

Thanks for clarifying Jason!

Only 2 weeks left to vote on new route applications!
