absolutsugarsmurf, the mere fact that you casually indict anyone that busts ass for the SCC totally undermines your credibility.
One edit....you are not paying to climb there one day, you are donating to the SCC/CCC so they can keep tons of areas open for you.
These people may get to climb there on occasion, but the sum total of days they spend ENSURING YOUR THANKLESS ACCESS to other areas instead of climbing, the nights they spend planning events, making phone calls, or otherwise "utilizing Hounds Ears as a marketing and fund-raising vehicle" for the end all of keeping Boatrock, LRC, Laural Knob, etc. open for thankless masses like yourself is anything but a selfish pursuit.
Spend a year on your local climbing organization and see if you think they are in some sort of conspiracy. Trust me on this, their supposed fringe benefits don't even begin to compare to the sacrifices they make.
In short, do your part, then you can talk. If you think these people are personally reaping more benefits than the freeloaders that are all too common in the climbing world then you can fuck right off.

i think we need a group of us to purchase a house with lots of land.... then we can have dirtbag climbers squat/camp on the land, driving out wealthy neighbors and decreasing property values. then, we can continue to buy more houses. ta da! then climbers own hound ears
