I have to say the article in this months mag won't help, no mention of sensitive access issues, dossing in the woods, tick marks blah blah, areas with no climbing (apart from the bird restrictions)...limited climber accommodation available, the rangers seemed pretty hardcore too. Pretty shoddy not to mention any of this in it in my opinion.
That's a pretty fucking lame half arsed token gesture./quote]We'll if they had an actual climber as an editor then maybe things like this wouldn't slip through the net.
you're still shitting somewhere and if enough people do it, it'll be a problem in some shape or form.
:I do think though that the Spanish have a special selfish disregard for the environment and their immediate surroundings. And sadly that goes for climbers and people into "the outdoors" just as much as the average Juan on the street. You can see it in everything from their attitude to noise levels, other's personal space, and the state they're willing to leave the crags in. I accept that it's a massive generalization and every country has its fair share of twats willing to drop litter and fly tip in the countryside, but nowhere else have I witnessed cans, empty food tins, entire bags of rubbish etc left in places requiring several hours walk into a National Park. There are a lot of things I like about Spain, but the general attitude towards the environment aint one of 'em!
