On the potato chip rock: one bonus of all the people up there to get their picture on it...they love to use the climber trails as toilets. Toilet paper and crap everywhere you look. On our walk down Saturday, we kicked around the idea of grabbing a few burritos one night, several PBRs each, and a bunch of us leaving our own present all over that rock after consuming and processing all that glorious fuel. That, or mAybe just blow it up somehow.

Did the Hendricks theme continue over to "Blackfinger" next door?

"Electro-Harmonix - From the legendary riffs of Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton to the new-school licks of Slipknot and Korn, musicians have relied on electro-harmonix since the late '60s. Whether you crave the sustaining overdrive of the Big Muff Pi or the warm spring reverb of the hot new Holy Grail, Electro-Harmonix has a stompbox with your name on it."

I've noticed this as well. There has been a huge increase in trash in general on the hill since I started visiting in 2008. I even saw a used diaper in the Mother Superior chasm.
I usually bring a plastic bag to collect tape, wrappers, cigarette butts, and plastic bottles. Packing out someone else's used toilet paper will require next level commitment.

An organized clean-up may be a good idea... perhaps on a Sunday with some signeage to show the new hikers what good stewardship looks like?
Feb 8 anyone? It helps when it's dry because wet TP ain't no joke :P

Cleanup would be fantastic. I wonder if we could sweet talk someone into letting us drive a pickup past the gate, use it as a mobile mule as we move down the hill?

A greed on the cleanup GDavis. Feb 8 looks fine to me too. At this point, my wife and I are IN.

Trust me on this one. I've had lots of HazMat experience. Get those green Nitrile gloves with Doctor gloves as liners underneath. I'll show you how to remove them without getting anything on yourself. It's a nasty business for sure.....
but other than than, it will be good to meet you again Greg. Unless I'm sick or dead, I'm in.

A sh#t clean-up will only be a temporary solution until the hikers learn to bury. Not saying a clean up is not worth it, but changing the habits of people who don't have the health of mount woodson at heart is what is necessary, however that might be accomplished. Perhaps if everyone on this thread berated them on the appropriate hiking web sites? And if a clean up is done, the entire load should be deposited on PCR at the end of the day.

I won't be avail Feb 8, but for a key you can "attempt" to contact the ranger at
http://www.sandiego.gov/park-and-recreation/parks/osp/blackmtn/
They will have a key but are very difficult to reach.
The road side of Woodson is administered by the city of San Diego Black mountain open space. The other sides are mostly city of Poway.
Another point of contact might be whoever runs the water tank.
