I'm not sure what IS appropriate - vandalism for sure. There also has to be some law regarding the creation of a hazard on public lands.
Agreed. And if they left it unattended, then they have committed reckless endangerment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endangerment wrote: Reckless endangerment: A person commits the crime of reckless endangerment if the person recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. “Reckless” conduct is conduct that exhibits a culpable disregard of foreseeable consequences to others from the act or omission involved. The accused need not intentionally cause a resulting harm or know that his conduct is substantially certain to cause that result. The ultimate question is whether, under all the circumstances, the accused’s conduct was of that heedless nature that made it actually or imminently dangerous to the rights or safety of others.
This is very serious. And no climber can claim ignorance of how anything can affect access issues. There needs to be some serious apologizing and compensatory action to mitigate this damage. If the Perps aren't willing to do that, then they don't deserve to be in the community.
