Reducing the Impact: Brainstorming
Re: Reducing the Impact: Brainstorming
hahaha! word kramp, i see you have now been enlightened as to why I wear my manpri's and carry an umbrella, no? it's kind of like seeing the movie "Bridesmaids" with a dude. I didn't do that because I am too insecure to see a movie by that name and thus had to go with a female instead, but that is a damn funny movie worthy of watching even as fellow dude-brahs. let's just give all the crags and climbs offensive, girlie names and bump the grades down a full number like Jeff said. that will at least keep the testosterone-filled boys away. the only problem is if it overfills the cliffs with even more crushing females then it could potentially bring out even more of the boys. wow, there really is no solution.
efil lanrete... i enjoy the sound, but in truth i find this seductively backward idea to be quite frightening

I'm glad someone else is proposing this, because it's been pretty uncomfortable doing this by myself. Finally, a new idea.krampus wrote:Then, we thin out the current crowds by acting really weird and such by laughing awkward times and sketching people out with homoerotic humor, basically flood the crags with banana hammocks and lycra and they will stop showing up.... eventually, that or lycra will become cool again we'll have completed a full circle.

Yasmeen in a banana hammock will only increase crowding.

Re: Reducing the Impact: Brainstorming
Me in one will totally offset the entire female climbing population.
I'm thinking gorilla suit ,but without pants running around the parking with a case of the runs. if that doesn't clear things out, I'll start humping cars, screaming something about air born warts.
In seriousness, posting and making it clear that large groups should not flood crags, leash dogs always! I really believe most climbers have been good about picking up trash or at least a few are picking up for those who don't.

Re: Reducing the Impact: Brainstorming
rip the bolts off of everything under 5.10
that would thin in out quite a bit.

So, now instead of the masses top-roping the 7's through 10's, they would be stick clipping up the 11's and then even failing more miserably.toad857 wrote:rip the bolts off of everything under 5.10

absolutely, other then the approach trail traffic what does the 7 wall crowd at road side do to most of us. We've all did our time there and moved on and know better places or times to take new climbers.

Where do you buy spandex, I could be ready by next weekend
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared
Re: Reducing the Impact: Brainstorming
and its not just the easy crags that could get renamed, we could rename the motherload to be "chochland"
