So, when do the Colo Spgs locals chop it?

This route has been around for quite some time, Idid it 10 years ago and it was up well before that, so I would assume that it was put up in an accepted style and it will stay.

Lee..my comment was a little tongue in cheek....Glen Schuler did the FA...I think.

There was a old no bolts rule (spew by Steve Cheney) at Turkey Rocks unless you were part of certain group or fan club of Steve Cheney...then it was ok.
