:evil:
Some lady and three young kids around 8 - 10 years old showed up at Morrison today and the kids had those bigass scuba looking goggles and nail hammers. They were wandering around on the trail that accesses the bouldering problems just hacking away at any part of the cliff they felt like hacking. We saw them just ABUSING the rock in the worst way so we screamed at them to stop and asked them where their parents were (the lady seemed to disappear).
Anyway, later in the day when it was time to head off, I noticed what was seriously a HUGE pile of choss/scree/crap covering a section of the trail, which is quite steep, and it made it hard to descend. These kids WENT TO WORK on a section of the cliff and it finally let go. I think they had been rolling rocks down the hill. A hill that is directly above the main road into the town of Morrison where there is tons of traffic. Insane!
What is up with this kind of retardation? This lady just brought a bunch of kids with hammers outside to a place where rock climbers hang out and these kids proceed to attack and destroy the rock right before her very eyes? What kind of parent does this?
A few days earlier, I saw some complete meatslapping newbie summersaulting (literally) down an easy class five section for whatever reason. Somehow landed on his feet. Five seconds later, he takes the trail up and around again. Same location.
Morrison bouldering seems to be attracting low lifes.

Darwin hasn't found these people yet. Just give it time. Then when it does, dance a little jig of gleeful joy. :twisted:

sounds like something i would have done a few years ago. You should have taken the hammers and started bustin skulls. While your at it, 'biners make nice aircraft-grade aluminim nuckles! :twisted: . Seriously, you should have told their parents like they had just killed you buddy, or at least call the police, thats VANDALISM.

Doesn't sound like a mother. Sounds like a teacher, who must have been friends with or married to a climber, who at some point must have left her, for his love for the rocks was just bigger than his love for her :lol: :wink:
She is just trying ot get back to him :lol:

Maticulated: thast knot going to leave some uv us with much words.
BTW dudes: you stick a child you will go to jail. Deservedly so. Yelling is permitted, however, expressing your displeasure verbally in a controlled and intellegent manner will 98 percect of the time do the trick.

wow, that sucks. what the h-e-doubble hockey sticks did they think they were they doing!? Very low on today's "cool-o-meter" reading. And I checked, bashing rocks with hammers is NOT on my list of things to do today...

That was my thought. Maybe some homeschoolers out for a geology fieldtrip.

A light-hearted approach:
On the "glass-is-half-full" side of this situation, at least they weren't little gym grommets out trying real rock for the first time with all the latest gear Mom n' Pop had paid for, and greatly outclimbing you as you struggle away on your 2-month old project! :evil:
I haven't actually experienced this yet but I live in fear... :wink: :lol:

I have to say, I don't think homeschooler jokes ever get old... they're right up there with midget jokes in my book. Well done.
