Tony, WW - put yourselves in a public servant's position (difficult, I know) and presume as this nameless, faceless public servant you don't actually do any of these recreational activities yourself, and therefore you have no particular reason to think climbing is the best thing since sliced bread in comparison to other activities that might be undertaken in the area.

Which lobby group are you going to listen to? The one that rants about 'wankers' and 'scum sucking maggots', or the group that is positive and constructive?

Public servants often search the web for info (or use google alerts, or other such fancy things), so there's probably one reading, and discounting your views (and potentially the views of other climbers as a result) right now.

The worst thing climbers can do as a group is to act like pariahs - it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
