This is nothing to do with responsibility, Gerry, and all to do with control and selling guidebooks.
We've met plenty of climbers at Hillwood who haven't contacted you or Bob - some of whom have tried but found you unavailable - and they have all behaved in a responsible manner in terms of respecting the property.
You could have had a very different dialogue with the landowner had you chosen to do so, as you could have done with the C CT, who have been more than willing to help build the climbing amenity at Hillwood.
