I am getting ready to wrap up a guidebook I've been working on for the Dynamite Shacks and Bullet Hole and I'm looking to talk to people that have been climbing and developing here over the years. I would like to get as much history into the book as I can. I've talked with a lot of the more recent climbers and developers but would love to talk to anyone that climbed here 10-15 or more years ago, particularly if you have a great story about your experiences here. I have worked hard to make the book as comprehensive as possible including around 250 routes, full color pictures and maps, and as much history as I can get.
If you are a more recent developer and I haven't talked to you yet please contact me as well. Thank you.

I've only climbed, not developed out there, it would like to be on the waiting list for when this book comes out!
I think I saw your shoes headed that way, making tracks from lockers house, Prod.

Nice shot, I'll bet the topout was even more of a bitch with the snow.
I didn't think to talk to Crusher since there's no towers here but we have some mutual friends so I'll try and reach him, thanks.

Fond memories of climbing around the Junction in the '70s.
Nice pics.

What areas are going to be included? Unaweep, Colorado National Monument, and Escalante hopefully . . .
I would love to spend more time in the Junction area if more info was available on your local climbs. Would save me gas money with the many trips I have made out to Moab and the Creek .. . Of course, more importantly, it would be great to have some new climbs to check out a bit closer to home.
