If this conversation is correct then PV is digging deeper holes. The clients climbing with the LTO's are recreational climbers in most cases and defining the difference is basically impossible.

BTW. As Tracy noted, ask for a detailed topographical map of the SPA areas that the rangers are using as a reference. Also ask for the PV definition of recreational climber that legally distinguishes you from a recreational climber as an LTO client.

If possible a video record of the interaction if possible (it is not illegal to do this). Please make sure that if you do this you politely say that you are recording this to help spread the message.
