cj001f Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 OK, but is this a problem somehow? Not if you like homogenized processed spoonfed "experiences" - and most of the world does, including "individuals", based on spending preferences.

DirtyHarry Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 When I did my stint in D.C. I found numerous decent boulders along the Potomac that no one ever touched. Â Everyone just went to the same places where everyone else went, like Carderock and Great Falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foraker Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 When I did my stint in D.C. I found numerous decent boulders along the Potomac that no one ever touched. Â That's because they're called 'National Monuments'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 too much effort...climb in the gym m-f, then on the weekend head to the NRG or Seneca! Â actually, i kinda like the climbing at great falls, real technical, too short, but its good stuff for what it is...i suspect these days with a good pad these days, you wouldn't even rope up for most of it... Â man, that shcist is SLICK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephH Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I would say that what it signifies is the popularity of climbing encouraging the appropriation and preservation of climbing resources for climbers.

mattp Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think we'll see some good with some bad, Joseph. As various pressures on open spaces increase, there are increasing voices of those who would shut climbers out of certain climbing areas. A concentration of climber-visits and growing numbers in a specific location will tend to increase those conflicts at those particular locations, but a greater acceptance of the sport, however you define it, may also help us gain credibility and may also mean more climbers end up participating in recreational planning and management efforts.

JosephH Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'm still holding out for the "Windsurfing" scenario - a complete collapse in the popularity of the sport. A way outside long shot at best.
