I'll take a shot at that question, 20 pts. is 20 pts.
Bolt Route - Otto Mock - 1969
BTW- Is that a sport route? Is that the one on the back side of Court House? I took that single star drive out with my bare hands in 1992.
I was thinking of Close to the Edge by your friend and mine, Martin Hackworth. I use that one as the first sport route b/c Hackworth bolted the face that wouldn't be protected otherwise and I think he did it on rappel. Shocking!

Ya know, man....what you just said was my first thought when I read Dario's initial post. It's not just climbing that's getting pissed on; It's everywhere in life and I think it's because parents suck and are lazy educators and mentors. Just tonight Yasi and I were talking about how we wish more parents could be like the Loefflers.
BTW, does ZSpider's negligence of the quote button drive anyone else crazy besides me?

I don't think people are changing. I think it's due to an increased population at the crags therefore an increased chance that some shitty stuff is going to occur.

well said SCIN..just the law of averages. climbers are no better than the rest of the world. you see trash along the interstate, you'll see trash at the crag. not dismissing it, just recognizing it.

Ya know when I was a kid I was taught to leave a place cleaner than when I found it, so what's wrong with teaching that to the younger generations?

ok, so today meadows and I find a budweiser case at the top of the motherlode hill. shall we blame that on oil workers or climbers? my guess it is some "brah" sending hard who was too lazy to pick up his trash after posing on his rad proj at the lode...don't worry you worthless piece of sh**, we got it for you.
and just as good, at least a dozen climbing cars had to of passed it in the morning on their way to the crag, but no one picked it up.
