Not uncommon at this popular hiking trailhead. Few months ago, Forest Service towed some cars for this and made a Facebook post about it.

It's owned by Episcopals in Lexington, not Baptists from Irvine. So, I doubt Jesus will rule it with an iron fist.

Write an essay about how if one of them had died, it would have affected people other than them, such as: - the Wolfe Co. Search and Rescue members who had to put his body in a bag; - the police office who had to explain his death to mom and dad; - the Muir Valley climbers see their $10 parking fees...

Fence looked perfectly fine to me. But if you got mad fence building skills, why not email the coalition and offer a day or two of your time? I'm sure Rockso would do it but he already spends all his free days replacing mank.

You may have missed the 10 fold increase in climbers, but this ain't PMRP circa 2004. If you don't build a trail people want to stay on, the whole thing becomes a dirt trial. If you don't build a toilet, the whole place becomes a toilet. If you don't keep the impact limited to a small area, the whol...

Leave No Trace principle #2 is to stay on durable surfaces. The base of the cliff is already compacted. It's the durable surface. Most of the rest of PMRP isn't. At the Gallery, a 1,000 different climbers walked a 1,000 different directions to go pee behind 1,000 different trees. The soil compaction...

If you'd been to the Gallery in the past few years, you would have seen all the erosion caused by foot traffic under the most popular routes. That fence isn't meant to keep horses in. Pretty sure it's to keep foot traffic and soil compaction confined to the area long the cliff. It's already doing th...

Why don't you call up Tommy Caldwell and Brittany Giffith and tell them to move it!
