Eddie, on behalf of all the local climbers who would never trespass and bolt up someone else's rock, let me say how sad I am to hear about this. Sadly, we both know there are locals who put their own ego and ambitions ahead of others' property rights, ahead of local ethics and traditions, and ahead of the law.

To those who are feeding the flame here, let me assure you that Eddie is a real person, a friend of climbers everywhere (until now), and an honorable gunks.commer since the earliest days. And yes, he really does own a large cave.

It is every climber's responsibility to know who owns the land on which he or she wants to climb, what access may be available to the crag, and whether there are any land use restrictions that may apply there.

Rock... Eddie is not a small man.

I call b.s. on Eddie. People have been climbing in that cave for years. In fact I was hiking in that area a couple of days ago and saw not one "no trespassing" warning. With that said, if in fact im totally wrong, and you are not a troll, shame on you. My god, talk about overreacting, get a f'n life and shut your fat blow hole!
