In reply to Gary Latter:
Yeah, but it must be a bit of a pain to add fence posts to your climbing rack just in case (and to source them)...We went there a few weeks ago and were lucky that a party had borrowed said fence posts from Mike as otherwise we would have faced a long walk round after every climb (or more to the point had to go elsewhere as we had our seven year old in toe to abseil him down).
Having said that Poverty point is quite nice and no stakes needed there.
I have no idea why anyone would think they need to remove the stakes there. Weird. Any clues would be interesting?
