I am happy to announce Torrent Falls Sport Climbing will remain open. There has been a total turn around in the area of respect. I believe the No Dog policy was the single biggest and best decision. Also the Portolet on the property has helped. Although we occasionally still get the people pissing in my yard, it has greatly changed. The level of awareness by all those great people in "getting the word out", has also made a great difference. Thanks to all of you for helping.

The following rules still apply

1. No Dogs or Pets

2. Use the Portalets, not my yard.

3. Do not ask to use the rest room at the B&B or main house.

4. Do not move the chairs from around the fire pit.

5. No fires.

6. Do not use ropes or routes designated for Torrent Falls use.

7. Park at the bottom parking lot and do not block parking designated for cabin use only.

8. Do not park in the paved parking lot at the Torrent Church.

9. A donation of $2.00 per person is strongly recommended.

10. Do not litter.

11. No foul language.

12. Be considerate to the owners of the property and it’s guests.

13. No rappelling with the exception of finishing a climbing route.

14. No night climbing.

15. Climbing ends at dusk.

16. No parking your car here and leaving the crag.

17. Use existing trails.

18. Limit climbing groups to 6 or less. No swarming the crag.

Thanks for your cooperation and thanks to the RRGCC.

I am curious. If just a week ago, gunslnga says youy were close to closing torrent...why the sudden change? Do we have to fear that in the future you may close Torrent without notice? For example, being human nature, folks will soon "forget" many of your rules and go back to their bad behavior...I hope not, but want to be realistic.

Would you please inform us BEFORE the behavior gets intolerable to you (the next time)? That way, as a peer group, hopefully we can snuff it out sooner.

And thank you for keeping it open.

( Mark, I was informed by another concerned climber that this messgae came across "rude" to them. In no way is this meant to be disrespectful to you or your facilities. I was trying to say we would love to be proactive in helping keep Torrent open, and the best way for us to know when things go south is from you, since you see it on a daily basis.)

(Is that better meadows?)

Does pissing in the yard mean uniration anoywhere at Torrent that is not in the port-o-let?

I was out there Saturday and discretely watered some foliage beside a tree, away from any climbers or visitors. Was that in violation? I try to respsect the rules, so I apologize in advance. I did notice the new facsilities in the lot on my way out so I guess I'll use those.

Too bad we can't all have a self imposed no cussing rule, within reason of course.
