Not sure yet Steve. I've got photos of the entire cliff done, but we have no plans to produce cards for parts of the crag which are on private land in view of the sensitive situation right now in Gardiner. Production does take time and effort, and we are doing it one card at a time. Currently there are two of us involved in the design and execution, myself and cfrac, who has been posting the fantastic shots of Romano routes to this thread. The cards are being produced by Dot Generation, a printing business owned by a local climber.

Of course, our ongoing efforts will be also be governed by the response to whatever we have produced.

We do have a longer range plan to have a website documenting the history of climbing at Millbrook, and that would be a place where analogously spare route diagrams could show up. But that is on hold for now.

Romano is a force of a nature and a wonderful character. I'll never forget the all-too-few days that I got to climb and mtn bike with him in '94. Check on the way, and thanks for doing this.

I hope my dismay was not taken wrong. I wish Rich the best.

I guess that's possible, V, but isn't more likely in your hypothetical first case that Rich gets $1,290?

A beautiful shot by John. I just managed to dodder up that route about a month ago...

Hoping the best best for Rich.

Here is a great shot that I sell a fair amount of... 13x19, 20 x 24 matted.

All the cash goes to Richie.

I like your math better, Richard.

Sweet photo John O. I saw that on a poster in the Gunks.

Really sorry to hear of this. All the best to Romano, and his partner, who must also be suffering right now. It's hard to be always, ruthlessly vigilant when you're supposed to be having fun.

I'd be interested to know exactly which route or formation this accident occurred at. We had some issues over pitch lengths last summer, visiting at City of Rocks (we dragged a skinny, spare rope around with us, so we'd be covered). Guidebook info on lengths seemed a bit uncertain sometimes. Love the place. We will be back. A location-specific heads up would be much appreciated.

This info may be posted somewhere (if so, my apologies), but I'm not seeing it.

thanks

A couple more. Romano following p1 (5.8/5.9 R/X) of his route White Rose and leading p2 5.11. Romano's routes are simply amazing, they are as high quality as they are bold!
