Well said Eric.
I started climbing around '92-'93, right when you first wrote your guide. Jackson Falls was one of the first areas I ever climbed at and I have fond memories of the place. Thanks!
A guidebook, beyond a list of descriptions and grades, is a history. When you write something down, it becomes fact for a lot of people. Whether you are posting a topo online or printing a book, that is something not to be taken lightly. Especially in the South, where much of the climbing is on private land or is available as a result of complicated and ongoing access agreements.
