This is totally gonna start a fight but ok
System of a down? and yer bitchin about reo speedwagon? yea.
I agree about the music tho. Headphones are one thing, but when your blasting music (of any kind) it is annoying, especially in nature. If you were in Newark youd expect it, but not in the sticks. However, you could try asking them nicely to turn it down, which if they dont have enough decency to do so without being told, they probably wont. Then, if they say no, go ahead and do your thing and kill em, i guess. whatever works.

Still they feed us lies from the tablecloth!
REO Speedwagon is headlining the Main Event at the annual AARP Convention. Hearing aids are optional! Just watch out for the Msh Pit... when those seniors start hurling their walkers around it can get ugly really fast!

Get with modern age... User your Ipod with headphones and quit disturbing everyone around you. If you want to listen to the same music as your buddies.. well then.. Just program them up with the same tunes. Problem solved.

Just do what I do. I bring my own boom box and crank some "Nature Sounds"
Just crank the nature sounds so that it is louder than the music and you'll be set. Or better yet, listen to the nature sounds on your iPod with your headphones.

Just don't play non-native nature sounds or somebody will shove a well-sharpened native shrub up your behind. In Jtree this is guaranteed to be a painful proposition.
Although, Whale Sounds of the Aleutian Islands is always an appropriate selection.

Well actually, don't make the mistake I did and be careful which native animal sounds you crank. I had a bear show up looking for the sound of the wounded goat, and later a moose showed up and tried to hump me...

With regard to having the music turned down...
If you don't have the balls to say "turn your shitty music down" (or whatever), you can always phrase it as a safety issue, "can you guys turn that (shit) off because we can't hear eachother".

Wow, here's an odd situation. I'm forced to agree with Jay on something. If someone's rocking a boom box at the crag, unless it's something I don't mind listening to I'm going to walk over and politely ask that they turn it off. If they refuse I'm going to politely excercise my right to trundle their boombox right the fuck off the crag, and if that means I've got an asswhipping coming, at least I'll be able to hear the birds chirping while I'm getting the shit stomped out of me.

turning the music down should solve the problem. if someon'e ears are so sensitive they can't stand a little noise, then sure, we can scramble all day.

would you play music in a library? church? classroom? hospital waiting room? restaurant? grocery store?
there are place where there is an social norm that requires quiet, national parks are one of them!
would you really throw a punch over something like this? If so, you really are a crummy person.

someone throws my ipod off the crag, YES, an ass whoopin is in order.
and your comparion is a little off. no, i wouldn't play music in the library, but i also wouldn't be chalking up and going for it in a library either. spend a little more time on your comparisons man.

then tell the birds to shut up, and i don't want to hear you yelling, or grunting as you go for a move. the park needs it to be quiet.

pathETICJAMES, only asshats and poseurs grunt and holler when climbing...
A vast majority of people would expect quiet when in a natural setting. Hence, the word natural.
The myopic geny attitude you and others on this board share will be the ruin of access...yes it wil...

placing equipment in the rock is taking away from it's natural setting, setting up bolts is as well. if you're that worried about keeping it natural, then get off the rock, and just stare at it.
