I agree it's senseless, but to be fair, I've seen a lot of climbing areas where climbers have done worse.

Yup- Climbers can do worse for sure. A lot of trees and bushes were cleared at the base of the climbing cliffs. Just seemed pretty weird and random.
Speaking of destructive climbers...A buddy of mine was at Stoney Point last week and witnessed some boulderers tagging rocks with spraypaint in between projects. Don't really expect that crap from climbers. If I'd been there, their mug-shots would be plastered all over Pyro's thread so the trad-daddies could give them a beat down if they showed their faces again.

I saw this campfire high in the San Gabriels last week. Gee, what could possibly go wrong here? And there were any number of similar ones within a 100 yard radius.
Now that thruhiking the PCT has become so popular, there has been a big increase in the number of illegal fire pits in SoCal. More than a couple of forest fires have been started by thrus. Their alcohol stoves can be quite dangerous as they have no shutoff valves.
If you hike the PCT, you'll see these illegal fire pits in spots only PCTers would camp. The same up in the Sierra, as well.
They're also leaving big messes at the water caches, it can be quite disgusting.

It happened AGAIN last week!!
This time it was f*#king climbers. Another fire, another encampment. More bushes cut and trampled to clear more space. Climbers should know better. I seriously don't get the fire-thing. They put it out when someone said something. People are so clueless. It's suicide if an ember blows into the brush down there.
Gotta rant here... there's been more destructive behavior down there this one year than I've seen in the past 10 years. Camping, fires, graffiti, and a whole pile of new random unnecessary trail-cutting causing new erosion issues. I hate to be the harpy but I'm just feeling really pissed off about all this today.
