So, climbing at Squishy this past weekend and some dude was cleaning / trundling from a route he was developing on the north wall. Cool looking line and definitly worthy , but he had the whole north gulley roped off and closed so he could clean up his route and he was definitly cleaning - consistently sending down lots of big blocks. As a result any climb accessed from North Gulley was de facto CLOSED, as was any early exit off of Angel's Crest.
It was cool that he roped the area off and put up sings warning climbers what was going on since anyone venturing into the North Gulley probably would have gotten smashed.
However, why would someone choose to clean a route in a popular approach gulley on a Saturday in mid-summer? It seems very arrogant and inconsiderate to me. Why not do it on a weekday or a rainy day or both?
Maybe that is considered proper ettiquette at Squamish, but I know if someone did that at Index, such aggression would not stand!
So happened that it wasn't a h uge inconvenience for us or anything, but it still seemed lame.
