I prefer cairns for marking the start of a track. Re 'cairns are a pox on the landscape' - maybe, but flouro tape and signs are even more so.
1. I dont think that moving 4 or 5 rocks represents a significant disturbance of the local bug population, especially in relation to the effect of the track itself.
2. They are a lot more natural looking than bright colored tape or sign posts.
3. You dont have to have a cairn every 100 metres or pile them a metre high, just a enough so people dont establish new tracks.
I dont think that you have to cater for the lowest common denominator in helping people easily find crags, but I imagine that the sort of signage Tracy is talking about may be necessary where there are a lot of walkers, to deter them from following climbers tracks or mistaking where the main walkers track goes. |
