I agree. I remember something similiar to that in Yosemite in 2002 I think it was every Sun. by Midnight lighting. Or it could have been every other Sun. Can't remember. |

| Back in the day, something similarly named was an outreach effort by the rangers to inform climbers about the rules for the park, kinda like a bait and switch... |

| But, he's right. He showed up all happy with an empty cup and then the man put the smackdown on him. All for a cup of coffee.
PS, Jtree and T-Meadows Climbers Coffee is a great one. never been to the Valley one but it opportunity presented itself I'd go. |

Therefore any positive effort put forward by any NPS official should be viewed with suspicion? I don't buy it.
I don't know the details of that situation (and I'm open to hearing them), but chances are there were extenuating circumstances that would frame it in a different light.
I also don't know much about Adam, but I do know that adversarial relationships between climbers and land managers are not good for anyone. When a hand is extended, shake it. |

| I think the point was he shook the hand and then got a lecture. I approached all of them that I've been too with a wide open mind and frankly, an opportunity to chat with the service. |

I don't really see a problem with this. I mean, they didn't secretly fill the coffee mugs with rule pamphlets did they? |
