You rascal, you.
I thought it would be a link to the ASCA paypal button, enabling
impulse donations.
But yeah, what you said...

Thanks, 426. I was still feeling impulsive when I saw your edit..

It still surprises me when I think of what those guys are doing.
Thanks, Greg. Go Team Go!!

I have met Greg out craggin' a few times;...always having fun, psyched about climbing and fixing up bad bolts, and doing something positive for the climbing community;.....he is greatly appreciated by me and, I hope, climbers everywhere who benefit from his hard work and dedication....it's a nasty, dirty job;...especially with a hand-drill, which he has to often use because of antique rules by many Gov. Agencies. I have lots of respect for the guy;.....climbing is dangerous enough w/out the bad bolts........He's The Man.

I think Greg got me on my first climb in the valley, and I freaked the #@%! out of him with my driving skills on our way back to the bay area.

Pah. I've still never been in an accident (knocking on wood, I am!)

oh hell, I'll come out and say it. Greg's disposition and generosity with topos and info and all the rebolting work that he does is why I donate to the ASCA EVERY YEAR!

I think he secretly likes to climb the off the beaten path climbs so makes this excuse of fixing the mank, but hey who doesn't. :)

ASCA fuked everything up.

There's no mank anywhere anymore.

You rascals you.

Thanks Greg for your hard work.

Thanks for all the good work!

The one quibble I have is that it should be called the American Safer Climbing Association - climbing can never be safe, just safer.
