Does anyone have any info on the guy's who bolted it? if so, please post up or pm me.

The growth is bad, definately needs some trail work done.
two new boulder problems put up in the upper area.

I recently met a guy on the new chains at Alapocas who claimed to have set the older bolts approximatly 10 years ago. He said his name was Sam and that he climbs over there regularly along with Gunks etc. He was pretty cool and offered to go into some of the history of the place the next time I bump into him.

Not really any point in this response, just to say hi to another Delaware climber. Those bolts have been there a long time, if your talking about the ones on the lower slab of the mill-cut. Thats a hard route.
I helped Fred Bohm and crew put up some of the area problems (Chief Thunderlose, Boss Hog, etc..) You guys still developing the area?

Hello -
I am the guy with the dog. I think you were with the group of 4 working on Spacklehead. I was out there this morning. You guys chalked some holds that I had never thought of using. I tried to follow your sequence but never did figure it out.

There are a number of us who boulder regularly in Rockford and Alapocas. We are working a number of new problems in the area. Nothing major but we are very active - 3-4 times per week.
