Should the climbing community encourage a "no dogs allowed" policy?

Poll ended at Fri Apr 21, 2006 3:46 pm

Yes. Cliffs are for people to climb, not for dogs to socialize.

Yes. Dogs are a real distraction and people do not monitor their pets enough.

Yes. Except for a few "dog friendly" cliffs where owners and pets could go away from the crowds.

Maybe. If the pet owners don't get a clue and keep their dogs quiet and off my rope.

Hey man, first of all not all dogs are like Ace; he's a finely tuned machine who obeys commands without hesitation. Secondly, not all people are like you who give a crap. I was out a few weeks ago and a mongrel harrassed me and mine repeatedly, while the owner kept repeating, "Here Buck!" This went on till we left. Left with these options I am forced to start carrying my Mountain Hardware Pocket Flamethrower.

Man, I think we should just start carrying about a 6' length of chain and padlock and if the owner won't do anything about his dog, you chain it up, lock it, and only release it when you get ready to leave. I have actually thought about doing that before.

This raises another topic as well. People who spread their stuff all over the place. On the trails, below routes there are days when I can't help but step on peoples shit. If people are so anal about their gear maybe it should be kept a little more out of the way. If I leave my rope out under a route I think it's completely unreasonable not to expect a little dirt on it.

We need to all acts as guests in the red, and more so dogs. Keep the dog leashed on public ground, keep its shit off the trail and if unrully don't bring it.
