Yes it is bizarre but to say climbing in a gym is not dangerous is not entirely true IMO. It may be less dangerous than say free soloing El Cap but it is not in absence of inherent dangers. If something went catastrophically wrong then some sort of danger lies within the activity. Otherwise this...

That is a good point. Not only GreenLeaf Trail but Kinsman Ridge Trail also. My bad I was thinking a bit more on a macro level. Parking should be limited there like a lot of other lots to a small number. Parking and shuttling the masses from that lot only to deposit them at OBP/ FW is not doing...

No doubt strange. Hard to get safer in climbing when it come to gyms. Hopefully more details will come out in order to understand this. Most climbing in gyms is on top rope which is usually very safe due to extremely safe anchors. Even if he was leading the usual fixed bolted gear placements on...

IMO The AMC is already getting preferential treatment by sucking up multiple parking spaces. Not only at OBP but Appalachia and the Ammo also. They should be shuttling their guests to trailheads from one or two central lots. Hiker parking should not be allowed at Cannon Tramway. Yet another...

Also dealing with multiple entities that the entire loop lies within. As discussed here before Falling Waters/ Bridal Path’s Trailhead lies within a State Park. The trail then continues onto National Forest Land and then enters The National Park System’s jurisdiction only to do the reverse on...

Liberty Springs tent site?????

I guess that will be left up to the Lawyers. Oh wait. He is a Lawyer.😲

Looks like there is going to be another changing of the guard. Hope this bears well for Randolphians going forward. This was posted on FB by GBA: MESSAGE FROM THE GRANITE CHIEF. Today, I share a bittersweet message. After much reflection, I’ve decided it’s time for me to step down as GBA’s...

That was my next question. Although not full time. Believe it or not when your local and just need to stretch your legs you get to know the off times when to be there and not. I have never seen an attendant there at those times.

Wasn’t really implying this new method ( Digital vs Analog) would increase or decrease compliance. More just interested about compliance in general because it is such a busy spot. This is another case IMO as I mentioned in another thread that if you build it they will come. At least the roadside...

Great links. Thanks!

What were the main objections?

Iron Ranger gone digital. Interesting to find out what the compliance rate is.

Please excuse my ignorance. What project is proposed for Sandwich?

I am well aware and agree with what you're saying. Good point but not what I was saying. That gully was there in 1968 the first time I hiked Mt. Major. Not suggesting the relo is not a good idea. What I'm saying is going forward decreased impact would be prudent.

Meanwhile Daniel is working on talking himself out of a paper bag.

Not that you need to pack the kitchen sink. But within reason better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Yes a very popular hike but reduced parking would slow the erosion and make it easier to maintain. There was a day when Rt. 11 was down close to the Lake with parking for a handful of vehicles. When Rt. 11 was moved and the Hikers lot was moved to it’s existing location use of the trail went up...
