Pittsburgh bridge climbing wall

A few weeks ago, I went with Brian and Trish to the Idea Round Up event hosted by the Sprout Fund here in Pittsburgh. At the event, they pledged $100,000 USD directly towards ideas contributed during the day's sessions. I proposed building a climbing wall on an old bridge pier in front of the Steelers stadium, and it made it into the final round of ideas that were presented to all 300 attendees. The idea write up can be found here.

Shortly after, I received a call from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper, asking to run a forum or editorial piece about my idea. Here is the story that I contributed, and that was printed on September 17, 2006.
