Cool story about a guy who moved to Idaho 60 years ago and decided to stay, building his home in a cave in the side of a mountain. Now there is a whole community there doing the same thing.

The Chalk Bag is a place where I blog about my climbing life with the hope of sharing my experiences and expanding my knowledge. It is a place where climbers of all skill levels can review gear, discuss techniques and share experiences related to rock climbing. I welcome everyone to comment on posts, participate in conversations, ask questions, share knowledge and provide support to fellow climbers.

Thanks for posting the video! Dugout Dick is an amazing guy. I particularly like the section about Thanksgiving dinner in the caves… He’s still alive and well as far as I’ve heard lately.
Dugout Dick and more characters from our year-long road trip will be highlighted in the YERT feature film. You can check out the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb1ohS8buws
Cheers, and happy climbing!
