In 2003 Nevada's Clark County Commission enacted a zoning ordinance for land near Red Rock Canyon. The new zoning law was mirrored by the state and would have limited the density of development in the area to one house every two acres. This change came in the wake of a proposed 5,500 unit development project on Blue Diamond Hill by developer Jim Rhodes. Rhodes sued the county and the state alleging that the local governments had "violated equal protection, procedural and substantive due process and ...

To help with that I finally got a nice day to head out with Anna and do some tradding. This is the difficulty in Scotland sometimes - Although I feel quite fit now from Steall and board sessions, there’s no substitute for going out and leading a lot of long

I don't know if she has made a deal with the Devil or something, but Sasha Digiulian just keeps crushing at the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. The latest victim to Sasha's force was Mike Doyle's Lucifer, 8c+ at The Purgatory.
Again, here's what Magnus Midtbö has to say: Another great day for Sasha, and for American climbing! After the rain stopped today, Sasha decided she wanted to give Lucifer a go! Yesterday she fell off the last really hard move on the route, which made waiting for the rain...
