Direct to Cascade Pass

Just don't do it. Yes, that stoopid trail is more than a little annoying, but it really doesn't take all THAT much longer than the shortcut and the Cascade Pass area is a high use area that I for one am glad to see them manage with an eye toward containing impact. If you want to go brush out a trail in some logging slash below the new wall by Zeke's drive in, nobody will probably care but if you start cutting trails in the Park you are just going to get the rangers to be even MORE active in disliking and disserving climbers. I honestly feel that rangers have generally lied to me and discouraged my climbing plans more than they have given me useful information or helped me, but this "fuck em; we'll just take matters into our own hands" attitude is not the answer.
