Is this one of those sport-climber specific dumb things?
"Hey man, we can't use the Euro-death belay with the Figure 8 wrap and single strand of skinny rope anymore. What are we gonna do to make things more risky?"
"I GOT IT! Let's use a belay device made specifically for thick ropes, with total dental floss!"
Bridwell might do it but then again he might get the author's name wrong.
Ask Ament for 10 words and you might get 10,000.
Personally I think an agent might help you more than a couple of blurbs from has-been climbers.
If you don't want to put pins through the map, grab a couple of those black alligator-style "report clips" from the office stationary closet (should be right next to the Swingline) and clip those to the map, then hang the whole thing from poster hooks.
I heard a story while I was working up in Terrace about a logger cutting into a big old growth hemlock that was rotten in the middle. Turned out there was a black bear hibernating inside the cavity and when homeboy cut through the tree trunk and into the bear, he woke it up.
From the article they did it bit by bit with a chain saw. I don't know about sedating the horse. Careful work with the saw no doubt.
Kill a tree, save a horse. Hard to call that environmentally friendly. Better to eat a beaver and save a tree.
