Everyone knows local CO/WY cowboys shoot  .270 Win's... :)

100% agree! This AZ boy shoots 270 as well, I just thought that 30/06 would be more recognizable to the climbing masses.  Kind of like saying "clippy things" instead of carabiner to my mom.

Ah page 3 where we internet tough guys start flexing!! I think most avg joes know what a .270 is... This is not some obscure round that no one would recognize.

Internet tough guy?

Just received confirmation from Navajo Nation staff that currently, no rock climbing is permitted anywhere on the Navajo Nation. This includes within Navajo Nation Parks as well as...anywhere! So that settles that for now. They did inform me that there are discussions about rock climbing as part of a larger outdoor recreation economic strategy, and more information may be available later this year.

It's probably more important now than ever before that everyone follows the rules while visiting the Navajo Nation. It is, after all, a sovereign nation and should be respected.

+1 sounds like they’re considering opening up their land in a limited fashion - don’t fuck it up!

Nah, it aint me.  Wouldn't be caught dead posing with a Guitar Hero guitar! I mean, how embarrassing, right? And as far as hooking up..... how do you feel about back hair macrame?
