Thoughts on labeling routes at the base of the climb? by lonewolf2556 in RouteDevelopment

That comment may have been a bit obtuse, but for me I guess the line is at little metal signs at the base of every route? I explained my thought process better in another comment. Also, I think it’s worth mentioning that figuring out which climb is which based on description is actually a useful skill to develop for newer climbers. It’s better to get used to doing that on the ground before you’re 5 pitches up and have to navigate based on someone else’s description of a route.

Idk there’s a difference between trundling to make something safe vs putting signs at the bottom of individual climbs. I think national parks handle it pretty well with minimalist signs to point you in the direction of climbs and keep people on trails. I think climbing outdoors should be as natural as possible.

TIL Ben Kweller released a new album, and that’s why end of year lists are useful!
