Cataloging who is or has developed local crags.

Gather information on each location. Maintain institutional knowledge. Future board can reference for planning etc. Long term goals if any. Using some of this information to post on our website for basic beta on parking, acceptable use etc. Possibly approach Rob to use his information for this. JC will ask Rob for permission about using certain sections on his book for the web site in writing. We ended up not asking Rob just dividing the crags up for info.
