Hey everyone. There is a group of climbers getting together to try to secure climbing on Kentucky State Park land, and we're putting a survey up to get a little feedback. If you'd like to participate, please fill it out and take it seriously. Thanks in advance!

If you want to see a big irony here, there is a picture of Torrent Falls Climbing Adventure Park on the front page of the Tourism Development Cabinet website (http://tourism.ky.gov/). State Parks are under this Cabinet. We had the same thing going on in Ohio. They had a picture of ice climbing, presumably in Hocking Hills, on the State Parks website even though ice climbing isn't allowed.
"Be responsible for your actions and sensitive to the concerns of other visitors and land managers. ... Your reward is the opportunity to climb in one of the most beautiful areas in this part of the country." John H. Bronaugh
On a similar note, the Wisconsin Tourism thingy used to have some quote about 'rapelling down 500' granite cliffs!'. In case you were wondering, there are no "500' granite cliffs" in Wisconsin.
Someone in their marketing department understands the appeal of climbing - this sort of survey is a good way to leverage that appeal to influence the land managers.
But from what I've heard about the current head of Natural Bridge, it sounds like he's got a "climbing over my dead body" attitude. Someone needs to propose to the appropriate KY department that he gets a 'promotion' to somewhere else.
Maybe a 'camel's nose' proposal needs to be made - like re-opening Pocket Wall?
