Hey all,

I have been climbing up at short MTN and found some really great stuff. I've ran into the bible camp people a few times but I'm always super nice and respectful (and I pick up trash thats there and don't leave any) - so they have never really said anything about access.

Anyways, I have a few thoughts about the area.

1) Does anyone have any sort of resources as to some of the routes/map of the area? If its all in your head, would you want to go up there with me and show me some of the set problems? I see chalk sometimes and I found a few bolts and plenty of fun problems but I'd like to see what other people like to do up there as well!

2) It seems like there is some logging going on. Would anyone want to join me in an appeal to the southeastern climbing coalition to buy the land?

Sorry, this isn't really on topic, but you might have an answer. I know there has been a fair amount of tension historically between visiting climbers and the bible camp folks. Has anyone talked to the folks at the neighbouring Short Mountain Sanctuary (a commune for radical rural gay, lesbian, bi, and trans folk) to see about crossing their property? It's a bit of a hike, but it might be lower visibility.

Also, is the Bible camp land even up for sale?
