I hope I'm stating the obvious here, this should be a wakeup call to everyone who climbs at MV.weber wrote: One example: Last Sunday, six out of six dogs we saw in the valley were off leashes.
Want to see Muir stay open to the general public? Please read and follow our rules and guidelines. And, remind others who just don’t seem to get it.
Thank you,

I believe Mark started with gentle reminders of the guidelines for Torrent and then followed up with requests that climbers need to follow these guidelines or action will have to be taken. When things didn't get better, there was the threat of shutting climbing off to everyone. Things seemed to improve for a short time and then slipped back to the way it always was. Now he's actually doing it.
Is this note from the Webers like the "gentle reminder" we've heard from someone else? Think of the impact it would have if they, the Webers, were forced to follow the same path Mark is on?
We, in this climbing community, who have been the beneficiaries of so many generous folks like Mark, Liz, and Rick, need to pay attention to what is being said by these folks. If not, who can blame them for taking whatever action is necessary to get the respect they truly deserve. The guidelines set forth to follow are simple. Not adhering to them is a slap in their face. Why not just walk up to any of them and spit on them. So little is asked when so much is given.
Thanks Mark, Rick, and Liz for all you have offered to this community and have asked so little in return.
