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

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.

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. -Tom

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!)

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.
