I think these types of situations should simply be handled by a friendly battle royal. The last two standing get the crag to themselves. :D

the answer is simple... climb harder... sounds like mule, the legend, and nagypapa were all open. or, maybe it's time to start trad climbing again.

well, something tells me, you can climb stronger than 5.11a, but what about the people who can't climb that. U gotta think of others. Thats how roadside and torrent got closed down, bcuz people weren't thinking about the owners. And dont be a douche and say oh well your just pissed because u cant climb 5.11, because thats not true

WHAT? If people start believing that, this forum is going to get awfully quiet

This thread makes me glad I took up paddling
climbing is dumb

That's a weird jump you took there, iamrob. You went from, "think about other climbers" to "think about the owners". Perhaps the hordes of gumby tards gooing up Roadside is precisely why it is having such issues?

Most of it is also Sport. So the whole issue about closing off most the country to the rest of the world, genocide, and the military makes me think that there hasn't been a lot of climbing development. Even in "free" countries like Vietnam, which is covered in limestone, has relatively little developed climbing.
