"Sadly we might need a monitor, a big brother/parent figure to help us keep this place a little bit nicer."
Remember the words of Captain Granitic? ( on soloing ):
"In abscence of protection, you must be your own"
The vacumn left by the lack of a monitor should be filled by two things climbers are supposed to possess in copious quantities: Good Judgement and Self Control.

But Chaz, we all know that good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from . . .
Good news. Anders has reported in alive and unharmed. He had some lame ass excuse for his tardiness but you can take it up with him at the next face lift or Jihadists of the Chief meeting.
I bet you thought Anders was a lawyer right? Ha ha. He's a crafty one. Actually he's a barber. Thats right - a long career cutting hair but thats not what he wanted. He really wanted to be either a lumberjack or a supreme court judge but his cruel father forced him into the army and they made him cut hair.
I just discovered the "Gondola on the chief" thread ha been nuked.
Oh well. I thought anders would like this:

VANCOUVER — The B.C. government is facing legal action from an environmental group that claims the province doesn't have the right to give exclusive use of a public park to a specific group.
Friends of Strathcona Park is arguing in B.C. Supreme Court that the Environment Ministry should not have issued a park-use permit to Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in 2011.
She said that allowed the company to bring guided horse trips into a secluded area of the huge park on Vancouver Island.
Scott Bernstein, the group's lawyer, says granting rights to a single business, and what he calls its high-end clients, is not in the public interest.
The group's spokeswoman Bridget Horel says allowing a private company the exclusive right to bring horses into a wilderness area diminishes the park for everyone else.
She says the case is about ensuring the Environment Ministry protects parks for the good of the general public.
Let us know!
