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.

I'm glad someone else is proposing this, because it's been pretty uncomfortable doing this by myself. Finally, a new idea.

Yasmeen in a banana hammock will only increase crowding.

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.

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.

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.

and its not just the easy crags that could get renamed, we could rename the motherload to be "chochland"
