It's a trade off, mate. The whole country is stolen land, but I'm not going to just sit in my cubicle and be a good little consumer in a meaningless attempt to right the wrongs of the past. Most climbers are extremely supportive of indigenous rights, and I'm pretty sure an amicable negotiated solution could be reached. However, Parks has come out with all guns blazing and pulled some pretty sneaky dirty tricks. If they insist on setting this up as a fight, then fuch 'em, I will participate in that fight.
