[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

papa_kennnedy Maybe I'm reading too much into it but this post struck me to be a tad on the hypocritical side. I wouldn't go so far as to say the post tarnishes any of the many great things the company does but at the same time it falls far short of their overall message. I don't see how this common practice is in-line with Leave-No-Trace principles or the general environmentally unfriendly way some climbers will clean their routes. Cool picture but the content maybe a little off base. (and yes i realize it's not a pic of someone pouring bleach down the route but you catch my point)

beau_skalley @mr_andrew_white somewhat agreed, except as a climber, I can attest, you don’t commonly (if ever) climb in places where there are incredibly rare and special flora and fauna. And even more so, so few people are developing new routes that it is not common place for the average climber to rip plants out of the wall. Those that are putting new routes up are usually smart enough and careful enough to not garden unnecessarily. More damage comes from the average flatlander who wants to go tromp through the forest and be “outdoorsy”

mr_andrew_white @beau_skalley from my limited experience the rarest flora and fauna grow on some of the most inaccessible places where animals don't reach. Although this climber is likely tearing common plants out it demonstrates a normalisation of doing it. All it takes is a little thought.

papa_kennnedy @ibc_cellarrat understood. I think it just made me pause for a second bc of who the post was from. I not sure I would have made the comment if it came from a climbing/ers account bc I know right or wrong it is common for this to happen.

ibc_cellarrat @papa_kennnedy rare earth brother....dig it up and make your internet device...we are all hypocritical in our existance....best to just enjoy what you got!!! Cheers!!!!

beau_skalley @mr_andrew_white and this is different from making a mountain bike trail, or hiking trail, or tent platform, how?
