  1. discovered at the top of the easy 5th class pitch that our rope was total shit for our intentions - it was an old bit of chopped rope that plaid had brought along, only half as long as we needed it to be for the rap, w/ the hardest part of the pitch right where it would end - a democratic decision was made to just leave it fixed - if'n that tickles yer sensibilities, feel free to go pluck it off and throw it down w/ all the goddamn party balloons i saw scattered here n' there about the approach gully

     

    No offense but you guys just decide to add to the trash and then proceed to give the good old "if you don't like it, go pick it up your self" attitude. Pretty freaking lame. Go clean up your own shit, and maybe pick up a party balloon or two, ya might feel a little better about your self.

  2. if theres a stump or something in a landing, would it be overly detrimental to rip it out? I'm thinking bring a saw and ax and cut/chop it out. I hate tearing up vegetation for something as selfish as climbing a rock.

     

    Sorry about your friend. Climbing does has its risks.

    My opinion? Don't even think about tearing up the vegetation.

     

    No problem with that. I don't like getting hurt bouldering. I tore a lot of brush out of there in 2003. Have fun, and best of luck to your friend.

     

    Big problem, dude. Boulderers altering the landscape is becoming an increasingly recognizable problem. (Denuding vegetation, stashing crash-pads which the local rodents love, chalkin' up every last crimp, etc). You want bouldering to maintain a low-impact reputation and stay relatively uncontroversial? Keep it clean and low impact. Leave the saw, ax, or whatever at home.

     

    respect the raindawg... hes right 99% of the time
