Some very nice work Tom!

"If a dog or pet bites an individual, that pet will be destroyed immediately."

This is bothersome to me. I understand the sentiment, however, I don't think its wise for anyone to do this. If an animal is attacking/biting at the time it is put down, that's one thing. But if the bite/attack is not occurring at the time an animal is put down, killing a pet could qualify as a crime. It could also create a civil liability problem since a pet is personal property.

nice work Tom. Don't forget that Mark also added a rule that no groups of more than six people are allowed.

Gita mentioned that perhaps we could pass notices out at Miguel's. I know that we've discussed waste and potential litter problems, but it might be worth it if we keep the crag open.

Terry, I think a preemptive strike is fine and justifiable. Remember, in Eastern Kentucky, "he needed killin" is still a valid defense.

It's only litter until you do your part and pick it up.
Maybe a sign like the one I saw when I was in the army... "Your mother doesn't live here, you will have to clean up for yourself."

i would edit the part about killing dogs if that was just said in the heat of the moment.
That's pretty sick. Just say, across the board, no dogs.

I think that the best way to solve this is to either close Torrent--which I would hate because it is my favorite crag at the Red --or charge a much higher fee for climbing there (like $10 a person). If you did this, the dirtbags who do not appreciate the access will go somewhere else. The people who value the access enough to pay a lot will abide by the posted rules.

no one will pay $10.

no one.

No one will pay, and charging a fee causes a landowner to lose the protections of the Kentucky Recreational Use statute.

I'd pay $10 to climb at Torrent esp if there weren't 50 dirtbags there.
