But screaming, running around like kids, throwing stones....

no, throwing stones is not ok. Throwing anything that you find "in nature" is not ok. If I see you pick something up off the ground and throw it (at a crag) I will rip you a new one. that is a huge safty issue. Lets say child is climbing up at Jimmy cliff picks up a baseball sized rock and chucks it tward the valley, over Wiamea and hits someone in the head. THIS IS NOT acceptable.

Running isn't a safe game to be playing at Rumney either. There isn't a ton of room at the bottoms of the cliffs and the drop off after the trail is steep. The crags are stacked on top of each other. The OP said the kid took a digger running around, well he's damn lucky he didn't fall off the back side of the little area where the tent is set up.

I don't understand how y ou can "agree with the safety issues" when you say running around and throwing rocks is OK for kids to do at a crag because both of these are huge safety issues, for the kids and the other climbers.

EDIT: This is only aplicable when you are at a climbing area, I don't care what you do elsewhere.
