Always.
I make up my own mind. I am a climber. I decide. I took that decision the first time I ever went climbing and I continue to this day. I don't need anyone's permission.

This self-centered attitude is exactly why we have breed of folks out there that care absolutely less as to what the consequences of their actions are for the REST OF THE TRIBE!
But then who gives a rats ass about the next guy, right Dingus. They're climber's for God's sake.
As long as you get your shit done and feel good, fk the rest and how ACCESS will be affected for them.
Gotcha...
If we as a TRIBE DO NOT START SETTING A REALISTIC THRESHOLD as to what and where we do what we do and how we do it.... there will not be any REAL CLIMBING.
"THE MAN" WILL SHUT IT DOWN.
We will all then be climbing on man made structures in the FLATLENDER's Urban Jungle Gyms.
