In a nut shell, the problems with the current ethic as I see it:rjackson wrote:The current "ethic" is not the problem... Change for changes sake is not the solution.
And where and when does the coalition weigh in on its stance as the "land owner" in this exploration?
I also find it interesting that no where does anyone consider the issue of trad mank and how those that climb traditional routes deal with the situation. Perhaps a lesson can be learned from that micro-community?
1.) People don't take the time to become educated, the climb unaware of risk and and consequence.
Solution: Education and awareness campaign.
2.)Convenience is taking too much of a front seat to safety. Balance needs to be restored.
Solution: Come up with a plan that balances the reality of convenience with the necessity for safety.
I plan on chatting with the BOD to find out exactly where they do stand.
Lastly, for God's sake man... if you think you can offer some constructive advice that addresses the two above issues, by all means do share!!!!
