Who cares about their 501 c(3) status? No one. Still, the GCC bylaws might as well have been written in sand.

As for the Access Fund affiliation, in my opinion the GCC has tarnished the Access Fund's otherwise good reputation.

You can cry all you want about the GCC somehow being credible still, but it's not. They have no cred with the bulk of the climbing community and no cred whatsoever with some of the important landowners in the Nears and at Millbrook. None.

576

In light of the recent post in the other thread, I guess the correct figure is something more like (-200).

Hey Ped,

Posting pics of your woman online is always a bad idea.

577, beat ya Kent......

Is there any reason there can't be two or more climbing advocacy groups representing the needs of quite a diverse group of climbers? If ya'll want better, or different representation, than make it yourself!! competition will surely polish otherwise complacent groups, not that I am calling anyone complacent. Just shut the hell up and form your own damned advocacy group!!!!! Might I suggest the WCNP (The Whining Climbers of New Paltz), or the GCTCC (The Gunks Carpal Tunnel Climbers Coalition), or the AGCc (The Anonymous Griping Climbers Club). The acronyms are fairly unlimited! I for one am going to start the ICLHT5.9C (The I can't Lead Harder Than 5.9 Club) I did have the enormous burden of the UCPLF (United Cell Phone Liberation Front), but now that I actually have a cell phone I have a slight conflict of interest, so I turned my post over to Yorick.

Based on Fraser/Dana's answers to questions about elections, I'm ending my participation in this thread. Hopefully, if more people do volunteer to work on access issues, then someone will have time to keep the GCC website current.

dont forget your other post on the board of the USHFFSR

union of socialist hardmen from former soviet republics

Dude I totally forgot about that one! I've been occupying a seat on that council until Slopur Lokov returns from Climbikstan.
