I would do the climb if I had the finances to get over there with proper gear! I'm 23 and in great shape!
If someone provides me with signs I will stick them all over the Tampa Bay area, Gasparilla is going on and we should spread awareness by having signs to stick all over the place, stickers or in ground signs (susceptible to be stolen) anyone know of a member of the community who can provide BTC related signs to raise awareness and take pictures of the cool locations to have them posted.

Well, L.I.B., I found an interesting tidbit:
Quote
Gasparilla was inspired by the legend of José Gaspar, supposedly a Spanish nobleman and naval officer who turned to piracy. The legend says that Gasparilla sailed from a secret island base south of Tampa in Charlotte Harbor, plundering ships in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Spanish main from the late 1700s until 1821, when, to avoid being captured by the schooner USS Enterprise, he wrapped himself in chains and threw himself overboard while shouting ""Gasparilla dies by his own hand, not the enemy's!"
Wow Phinnnaeus you're quite the encyclopedia!
I never knew or heard of that, definitely sharing that with everyone because most likely nobody has heard this before!! It makes sense because Fort Desoto (Spanish ruins) are not far from the Tampa Bay area, near my residency!
