Bruce,
If you want to email me perhaps we can do something to get started. Get a bunch of signatures, contact the access fund, etc.
Dr Sprock,
If you're drilling from stance and need some help email me.

i should have mentioned that the angle is just perfect for free climbing.
so no bolts required.
there is also a huge crack system.
maybe a tree sling for the first timers, but the tree fuzz don't even like that.
so if you want to leave some chalk on some virgin 100 foot slab action, let me know. and then there's a million others waiting, have you been to "don't litter rock?"
who was that freak who was getting shot at by the freak at the top of the hill with the freakin barking dog?
i think that guys a vet.
have you ever talked to a vet before?
hey, i gotta give a shout out about these krieg chalk bags, they kick ass!
i cleaned out 2 of 3 skull and bones at pg sf, one left.
they are so well made it aint even funny.
give sam a call.
check this sh#t out:

See from a post last year on the Rockclimbing.com forum that the peregrines were nesting on the Lower Tier at Summit right next to the appropriately named route, "Glob of Shit" (5.10c). IOWs: Closing the Lower Tier of Summit during the nesting season (Feb. 1 to July 31st) seems appropriate. But closing the whole Summit Rock complex all year long and into forever seems like a bunch of B.S. concocted by Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation as an extra-feature of their Trails Master Plan. Summit should obviously be re-opened on July 31st, 2009. Sure hope the Access Fund is successful in their negotiations with County Parks.

Okay, so Bruce, kev, and I have contacted the Access Fund about this and we're going to need some other local volunteers to help us out.
Anybody?
kev is busy with the Shuteye Ridge and Bruce needs supposrt because he may be considered biased because he wrote the local guidebook.
We need regular local climbers to be willing to go to meetings with the Park Service.
Help!

Local climbers are posers if they don't reply to my query.
You know who you are, today someone else's crag, tomorrow yours.

Alright....I just talked to kev.
We're thinking Wednesday the 15th of this month we meet at kev's house for a BBQ/beers and discuss a course of action on how to proceed with the park service.
Kev lives in Mountain View, directions will be forthcoming. We're thinking sometime after 6pm but we're flexible.
Anybody who wants to come please reply to this thread so we can plan on it.

Talked to Kev on the phone this morning & it looks like there is starting to be a ground swell of public opinion regarding the Summit Rock closure. Sounds like we do have an excellent bargaining point: If other crags are closed from Feb. to July for raptor nesting, why in the heck is Santa Clara County Parks closing Summit to climbing indefinitely? Doesn't make sense (especially since no Wildlife biologist signed the closure order). I'll be starting a new string re: the Summit closure soon that will give the email addresses of the people at County Parks who probably approved this order. I for one will be making it to the barbecue to thrash out some kind of a larger strategy.
