Bump.

So, Mister New Editor of Rock, we're making this pretty easy for you for the upcoming Spring issue. There's the showdown tomorrow on an allegedly once-death-route-now-sport-clip-up, and I expect an intrepid Rock reporter and photographer to be there to record the event and provide a unique insight into how the digital age has changed the initiation of this kind of 'controversy', but not the outcome (ranting and raving and insults and threats... until people meet face to face, and then they're fairly reasonable). Then there's the new route that was possibly going to be a two-pitch crack put up by one of the country's best female climbers, until it was done as a one-pitch line by one of the country's best male climbers. Stolen line? Or preserved the climb? Disrespect to the person working it? Or respect for the style of the F/A?

And don't just read what's on here then put it in the mag, I'd rather another article about the five-millionth send of Kachoong than that. (I wouldn't really)
