I think the imposition belongs to those who think they can do whatever they want to disfigure public property.
Addendum to pope:
Can I arbitrarily build a picnic table in a lovely spot on public land in the Enchantments? No.
Can I arbitrarily carve my girlfriend's name in a tree on public land in Mt. Rainier National Park? No.
Can I arbitrarily chop down a tree in a national forest on public land because it obstructs my view? No.
(you can go through a public process that regulates OUR land and see what you can add or detract.)
What makes you think that you can arbitrarily add permanent fixtures to features on public land?
By the way, backpackers, whom some deride as a bunch of hiking wimps, had it figured out decades ago....LEAVE LITTLE TRACE. Not everything NEEDS to be climbed. Find a naturally protected line, climb clean, place your bolts few and far apart if at all, top-rope it, or find another sport that's less destructive.
Bolt-dependent sport-climbing is an environmental disgrace. Wake up. Everyone whines about garbage on Everest but at least the garbage on Everest can be picked up without using a crowbar, unlike a bolt, which is intended to be a permanent installation on the (usually public) landscape by someone who fancies themselves to be a "creator" of something special. Sit down!
You are funny.....thanks for sharing.
