I thought this when I was out for a run this morning. Am I on to something or talking bollo@#s?
In general the climbing community really look after the things they are interested in. ie rocks,crags,cliffs etc. Despite the occasional person telling fibs or 'creatively brushing', this unregulated and anarchistic community have come to a shared understanding about the need to take care of what they love.
Wouldn't it be something if the international community could learn from this when it comes to looking after the big rock we all live on.
