Climber Saftey
« on: April 27, 2012, 08:05:00 AM »
I'm thinking a few of these signs around Pinnacles would be nice. Especially on the Rim Trail that passes by the Monolith. I've had three close calls there with kids tossing rocks. One was a group of nearly 10 boy scouts.

I like them both - covers all the bases.

We actually had an incident at Back Door with kids throwing rocks.  One of our climbers on top said something to him about people being down below and the scout leader said something to the effect of "well, if they're not wearing helmets, they'll get what they deserve".

WTF?? 

Great role model.

Jackwagon!

I think they can actually get cited? Even if the folks below are not wearing helmets...

My son will give them a run for their money if he does scouts. "No you are going the wrong way...yes there are condors on condor crags and my dad says that's Poisen Oak, good for wiping".

He'll likely got booted.

i think when you tell people not to do something it makes them want to do it even more - esp kids.
not sure what the solution is beyond posting a sentry or just sticking to climbs above the trail unless it's a weekday.
or...we could use little flag markers like scuba divers...

Curse very loud.  Scout leaders hate it when you do that.
