Obviously you haven't kept a low enough profile so the jerk in question found out about the place.

Looks like you'll have to find a new spot and keep it quiet this time.

I heard it was The Explorers Club of Pittsburgh. Those guys are jerk-faces. Hope the injured guy is ok.

The climber will be OK. He is Infuriated that some boulderer doesn’t have common sense enough to leave things where they lay ,and that ROUND THINGS ROLL. More so he is pissed that unnamed wants to tell people he doesn’t know well - where this spot is. We dont mind the climbers as long as they use there heads.

As for the law.

This is dated a bit there have been many areas added since, the posts are on the board at the lot of the place in question and one should take the time to read it when in the area.

Effective immediately, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is banning cliff jumping/diving on all district managed recreational property.

Cliff jumping/diving is a reckless and potentially very dangerous activity that has always been strongly discouraged on USACE recreational projects. Recent water-related accidents and fatalities have prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to take the lead in prohibiting this activity.

Warnings will be posted at district projects alerting users of the dangers associated with cliff jumping/diving and advising them of the ban. Warnings will be issued by park rangers explaining the dangers associated with the activity.

Failure to heed warnings may result in citation under Title 36, which may result in a penalty of up to $5,000 or even federal imprisonment.

District lakes where the ban is now in effect include: Alum Creek, Deer Creek, Delaware, Dillon, North Branch of Kokosing and Paint Creek Lakes in Ohio; Beech Fork, Bluestone, Burnsville, East Lynn, R.D. Bailey, Summersville, and Sutton Lakes in West Virginia; Dewey, Fishtrap, Grayson, Paintsville and Yatesville Lakes in Kentucky; and John W. Flannagan in Virginia.

Totally concur skyhigh, it;'s bullshit for them to restrict folks. If they were going to fall into a turbine ad damage it and screw up the power grid, thats different.

These government assholes should be challenged. And forced into productive work if they have that much free time to go around bothering honest folks, instead of making them criminals for just being on their own (it's not the Kings) land.

And don't tell anyone about your secret stashes!

The Corps of Engineeers is indirectly responsible for the flooding along the Mississippi this year, what happened to New Orleans AND the flooding of a decade ago. With such a steller record what makes any of you think they give a goddamn about your problems?

They don't. They won't. End of story.

Circumvent. And don't tell anyone about your secret stashes!

Well, technically you aren't cliff diving/jumping. You don't fall into the water on purpose. Does the law state that you can't climb there?

Fixed.

but even if they weren't there the river would flood.

With Katrina I think you have a much stronger case, as failure of a single corps levee that they knew was insufficient led to massive damage to New Orleans that otherwise the hurricane may not have caused.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but those same systems that you blame for flooding allow countless people to live and farm on what would be otherwise unusable floodplains.

now THAT ^ is a fucking thread drift!!!
