"working" routes that are far beyond your grade; endlessly toproping them and hangdogging them and (oh, abomination!) minitraxioning them, so that on the 50th or 500th try you can say, "yeah, I've led 5.12"
This is not climbing

yeah, why just the other day I saw a cadre of slimy lawyers in a black Cadillac Escalade with tinted windows driving around looking for crags where climbers were enjoying themselves, just so they could sue the landowner. scumbuckets. from the way they carried on, this, apparently, is fun to them.

worse yet Mick, guided Sierra backcountry climbs. They should stay the hell of things like the 3rd Pillar of Dana, Red Diehedral etc. Also they should keep their noob clients on Horsetail Falls and not clog up Lee Vining canyon.

agreed... guiding in LV (bringing the masses to a limited amount of ice)sends a F@#$% you to all other climbers, placing their climber-for-a-living lifestyle over all others. We should have seen it coming when top-rope anchors (bolts)were installed at the top of every single pitch and variation... sad

Jody:
I am guessing you job allows you to take weekdays off, whichis always an advantage. Unfortunatly some us don't always have that option. When I used to work weekends crwods were never a problem. I don't know why I complain, it is not like I get out climbing at all.
I do agree, hike a little farther. But let me tell you it sucks when you hike for miles only to be thwated by some ass who can't get up a backcountry 5.6 and prevents me from doing the climb. On the other hand running into competent climbers in the backcountry is a real treat.

Ice guides should farm their own ice and leave the public ice to the public.
