There are...selfish and inconsiderate people everywhere. I'm glad you reported this to the authorities.
I run into a different kind of selfishness in climbing areas. Some people bring their radios and CD players to the crags and turn up the volume, just as if everybody has to enjoy their kind of crappy music.

Re: There are...Yes, I can just imagine...although this is now really something that should be banned! After all, climbing is an affair of utmost concentration, and being bombarded with that sort of cacophony (to think that some people actually call that "music"!) is something that takes away alertness - especially if it's not your own radio it's coming out of! - and can therefore get dangerous!

Re: There are...I noticed, Mark, that you put on every page a chapter about nise consideration. I really appreciate that. Noise pollution is one of the worst I know. Radios, helicopters, off-road cars, etc.
And, Eric, your paragliders story is fun also. I wonder if you could cook something spicy for them. But you were alone.
Cheers friends!

people should...... learn to be extra careful when they go out in nature, just like you behave in any place that deserves respect or quiet.
Unfortunately some think that being outdoors means doing what you want, while others, think that as their activity involves more "cool gear" they have more rights than a hiker...
You did well to report them.

Re: people should...Thanks a lot Gabriele - I think you brought it right to the point - people think that just because they have more gear, they are more important and have more rights! A psychological phenomenon, and a pretty sad one, that one meets up with very often, also outside of mountaineering (take street traffic, for instance - oh my God!!)...
Cheers,
Eric
