so signs right at the base, pasted to the actual wall MIGHT be better.

How about at the top of every climb, too!

In squamish they actually bolted a large metal "No Climbing" sign over the key starting footholds on clean crack at lower malamute. You couldn't really say you didn't see the sing since the only way to start it would be to get a boost past the first few moves.

I liked the stuff about the dog shit. I agree with Toy. Other than myself, I don't think I have ever heard anyone say something to an offender!

so merrick, did people still climb it? if so, just goes to show how ignorant climbers are.

Maybe Mark's solution should be pay-as-you-climb. Erect a metal toilet stall type contraption in front of each climb. You'd have to pay, just like in some public restrooms. There would always be the jerks who crawled under, but they'd be easy to spot.

Wouldn't climbers climb over? And then get shit on themselves?

I have always said that Torrent is just one big turd farm. Moonbeam alone kept the crop growing! Alas, the shit is dwindling. My reflection hasn't been seen in awhile. Shine on you crazy diamond!
