Just to let everyone know, there are serious access issues at welsford right now so it would be best not to go there in the next little while to climb. Their access is currently in jeopardy, thanks to some people over there they are reacting very quickly to get a plan together and work something out. It seams their community is really coming together in a very short time. Great for them so far.
My point here is anyone of our cliffs/bouldering areas may encounter the same kind of thing. Thats why I think it is imperative that we as NS climbers have to at the very least put some money together for issues like this. It is just as important for CNS to develop some plans for the areas, who owns what, a history of the area, what some recourses could be if the owners decide to limit/deny access. Right now a cliff First Face is for sale. Who knows who will buy it.
So as you go out on the rock this summer and enjoy your privilege of climbing please think of offering to help out the access committee this year in some way. After all you pay to climb indoors why not pay alittle to climb out? or if you can't pay volunteer your time no matter what you think of CNS.
OK Guilt trip over
