    Thanks for putting this together Jeff!   

    I find it impressive that a climbing structure built in the 1930s is being used for a bouldering competition 80 years later.  

    Maybe there is potential to add more rock climbing features at Camp Long or possibly West Crest Park?   

Sorry, comment time is over.
