She needs one. Fuck the tv (not literally climbordie). Let's take up a collection to get her a Rabbit.
Wait a second... I'm sensing a great imbalance in the force... I'm sensing a move to Scummunity...

since we're so of topic anyway I'll try to swing it towards one of the standard default topics that we always end up at.
Since you'll strictly be dealing with a gym and won't ever have to deal with this, what are your feelings on bolting? retrobolting? and chopping?

I think you have that wrong. Epoch has penis envy, 'biner wants to show her (and her sister apparently) a good time, I just want to liberate a mind from conservative slavery.
Hey climbordie,
When you get 'binered, just go with it. And don't forget:

You know, every time some one asks you a question about climbing, it gives you the opportunity to be an ambassador for climbing. Or, you can just be an ass. The choice, of course, is yours.
*boggle* What, we're sending a delegation to the UN? WTF? Unless it's an access issue, why the hell does climbing want, much less need, ambassadors?

While you may chafe at the term, I think that presenting yourself as friendly and approachable to non-climbers sharing an area is important. Should there ever be an access issue that arises, don't you want them to have as good an impression of us as possible? We're a pretty small user group compared to others. On top of that, I don't find it much of a bother to chat with non-climbers for a minute.

It almost always has the potential to become an access issue.

I'm going to get flamed, then tarpitted, then cyber-punched in the nose but.... would it really be so bad to lose some access to overly crowded and abused areas? Losing access to the easy to get to and easy to see crags just might be a good thing.
Lets take Boulder as a hypothetical example. It's surrounded in rocks to climb, enough to occupy a lifetime if you so chose. Now lets imagine that Boulder Canyon is off limits. No climbing there or you'll be shot (we're playing make believe already).
Do the crowds then descend on Eldo, Lumpy, Lyons, and Clear Creek? Yep, a little. They also go mountain biking, trail running, check out the museum, find Jesus, or whatever the hell else there is to do on a weekend. To many people, there is a lot more to life than climbing. I'll admit, I think these folks' lack of tunnel vision is odd, but that's their choice.
All I'm saying is that the crowded and abused crags bring the less dedicated contingent. The less dedicated contingent knows less about preservation, low impact, stewardship.
I can already see the response FUCK YOU ASSHOLE, YOU HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE!!!!!111. Do you? Really now, do you?
This whole warm and friendly rock climbing liason thing is like using Calvin Klein models to push heroin...err...d'oh.

OK, just in case this thread has swung back away from creepy-perv-and-the-virgin territory, not all access issues are in the currently overcrowded places. Laurel Knob in NC is a perfect example (NC climbers, chime in here). I've never been there, but understand it's something like a 2-hour approach, which tends to keep some of the riff-raff out.
