Just out of curiosity - what are the top FIVE ethics of climbing that you would like to see enforced via. peer-pressure (ie. we can't fine people the way national parks can if they violate the rules. the only thing we can do is guilt them into following)

Here are mine:

1. Pee/Poo away from cliffs. Pack out TP & bury your poo
2. Follow Leave No Trace guidelines
3. No top roping through fixed gear - including perma draws, lowering biners, anchors
4. You are responsible for your own safety - belay & climb responsibly
5. Volunteer or Donate to the organizations that maintain the land you climb on


What are yours?

I am sure you are a really good person and I know I shouldn't... but this post is well sort of ghey.

Yeah, I know, I know... I know she is awesome and does a shitload on my/our behalf. So, thank you Jospehine, but the thread is still "ghey".

#2 DO NOT LOWER DIRECTLY THROUGH GLUE-INS IF YOU HAVE TO BAIL (leave a biner you cheap-ass *&*#@!, if you're lucky DAS KRUE will leave it at Miguel's)!!

#3 Do NOT smash the car windows if the doors are unlocked

1)Don't eat it unless you kill it.
2)Don't kill it unless you eat it.
3)Don't kill it unless you can get away with it.
4)Bury 'm deep!
5)Don't eat the hippys, you'll never get that smell out!

Hey, in all seriousness... why not put up a glue in with a quick note explaining your rule #2 at Miguel's. They are going to become more widespread and people ought to be educated preferably before they do it..

I think 1 and 2 kinda go together. I would like to see less dogs and babies/children at the crags.

Great idea. Why don't you do it?

I will... do you have a glue in? I will make the sign, and I am down this week end.
