I heard about these issues and I've gotta say it's dissapointing. I don't see why anyone should get paid other than Simon. He's put 4 solid months into this guide, topo photos, area photos, etc, it's gonna be friggin awesome. The crag photo alone for Boganville took him over 4 hours of scrub bashing just to get exactly what he wanted. There's 45 areas in this new guide.Who farken cares if he doesn't new route. He puts back in many ways. I've seen him at plenty of TrackCare days, swinging a pick, humping rocks..there's no glory there, and I've never seen your friends there. He's donated both equipment and packs...AND money!! Proceeds from this next guidebook will be going directly to trackcare and rebolting and, quite frankly, I don't think you can ask for more.
I think it's wrong to open the can of worms, but you have. Simon has put his business and family life on the backburner to do this guide book. Shameful thread sorry...
