In reply to Chipko Andolan:
Thanks for posting. The loss of Bowles would be a disaster for us locals. But I do wonder if they are exaggerating somewhat.
The dogs issue should be easy to sort with a few signs asking people to keep their dogs on leads. A threat of a ban for offenders. Bowles is a small place and is usually crowded. There are always groups of locals there who care greatly about their crags, so it would be trivial to identify the owner of a loose dog and request that they keep it under control or leave.
As for those who won't use the free toilets right at the base of the crag, WTF is wrong with some people? You could not possibly make it more convenient to use a proper toilet, it's a very busy place with families everywhere, and they still piss all over the place? Anyone I catch doing this is getting their photo posted on here and denounced in front of the crowds at the crag.
