𝙉𝙍𝘼𝘾 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 and after hearing reports of another recent accident on “Chunko Goes Bowling” (5.9+) at Summersville Lake, members of NRAC went out and assessed the route. Based on what we saw, the feedback we received, as well as discussion amongst the bolting committee and the NRAC Board, 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘦 in an attempt to make the route safer for climbers!

We also added a lower bolt on “Hippie Dreams” (5.7) and two bolts on “Souled Out” (5.9). NRAC is dedicated to making these popular routes safer for climbers. A huge 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 to our bolting committee/team for keeping us safe and well protected.
