Miscarriage of justice. Courts appeasing a bigger sqeaky wheel.

there was another article where they tried to get the religious body to identify their members by name/address/number of times they visited the site for spiritual purposes - but that failed too.

That kinda sucks... But look at it from a different perspective. We took a lot of land, resourses, and lives from the native americans of this land. The least we could do is let them have their way with some measly bolts at lake Tahoe. Let them do what they want, there's plenty of other rock to climb!

I agree cliff, consider what was theirs before our ancestors came along. Small price in a world full of rock.

Nothing like performing your sacred ceremony to the din of 18 wheelers and Harleys whizzing by at 80mph.

Speaking of that, have you seen the huge one recently built near Shelbyville, Indiana? When did the laws change that gambling can go off boat?

There are a ton of Indian artifacts in the red, and several routes closed because of this... It doesn't bother me that they're closed because there are countless other routes to climb. I just think it's a good idea to respect the native americans and let them do what makes them happy. We could never repay them enough for what we took. It was their land first!
