You've got my support. Dogs are great but I would prefer not to worry about the one sniffing my pack to check out my lunch or hiking a leg to mark his territory. It is a numbers game. Most days there are too many people at the crag, and with loose dogs running amuck .........it just ain't the great outdoors anymore. Leash 'em or leave 'em.
Too bad, there are so many stupid people out there sometimes more annoying than a pack of wolves and nobody keeps those from coming! Why?? Ah I forgot bc those are humans and dogs are just... well dogs...
Not a surprise ... maybe this will help reduce impact and maybe even keep the numbers down at Muir …the red has many crags that are free for dogs…i was in Muir few times and each time they were dogs running around ;Rick or some of the route developers passed by and reminded them politely about the leash policy, they seemed to understand and would leash their dogs and…… unleash them after they were gone .If I enquired about it..they would say that their dog was well behaved and do n’t like being leashed (which is usually the case since they were constantly barking after being leashed).This happened every single time I was there without exception . I can only remember one instance the dog remained leashed the entire time. I don’t know if this is typical or an exception …. Good decision Rick
