Land owner has us by the short hairs, buy him the windshield, does not matter who's wrong or right.

Replace "dog" with "toddler", would you blame a parent for letting a toddler frolic below a climbing route?

Tom,

See what you started?

monty, you showed a lot of class and did the best you could for an unfortunate situation.

Looking for ethical, responsible parties to climb with. Monty, if you ever need a partner I would be happy to tie-in with you. RockinGal, well, uh, never mind.

It's all fun and games until the "cat" gets tagged

Rick: Yeah, looks like I unintentionally ignited an ethics debate. Interesting...

FWIW, we'll go and unless a local (not the owner) gets too shrill about the private property issue we should have a good time. If the owner objects we'll politely leave. Probably also do a quick litter pick-up, just the right thing to do. I'm pretty sick of climbing sites being shut down, esp in the Pine area. Couldn't hurt.

You can always offer to buy them a pitcher at Bucksnort!

Tom, as long as you don't go to squat or the elephant/sphinx, you'll be fine.

(Tom, I of course saved my 5000th post just for you!)

Hey Mark, hope all is well. Yeah, I know Squat and esp Sphinx are off limits. Frustrating, I loved climbing at both.

No, you don't.

Edit to Add: I hope the folks whose windshield you broke are reading this.

In my opinion buying or splitting a new windshield would be the right thing to do, regardless of who it is.

What I was trying to point out is if the action taken by RockinGal had been directed towards the landowner or a neighbor there could have been serious consequences for the climbing community as a whole.
