I like the idea of stringing a rope along the base of a crag and attaching goats on a 10' leash so they can travel the base of the crag and eat the grass without venturing into the fauna further from the base. ...probably be better the string the base and goat leashes with steel wire.
Then you can litter and it'd be caring for the goat stewards.

BTW
Orange peels don't degrade quickly and other animals are not interested in them. Pack 'em out.

Thanks for helping to clean up the area, and for doing what those before you should have.
I've been crack climbing lately a fair amount and it's disturbing how often I find discarded tape at the base of the routes.
Let's all pledge to be better stewards of the areas we frequent...

Here's the Pre-CleanUp I did at the MUA(free camping area) in the Gunks I did last season:
South Side of Road Parking Area
North Side of Road Parking Area
What sort of people would leave their personal trash at a place clearly marked, and well known, as a "Pack In/Out" spot? Oh.....I see....the types who would shop at a Whole Foods, perhpas. Whole Hypocrites!

A pile of dirt.

Whole Hypocrites - that's f-ing funny.
Strange though I saw a lot of booty in the initial post. Nalgeenes, water bottles, etc. The rest is just for the fire...or chaz's dog.

OK, I'm on a rant today.
There are two threads running today about climbers bailing on gear for whatever reason, and notifying others that it's there for the taking, or they might like it back. WTF?
I can understand leaving gear when there is a serious emergency, but when you simply get spanked or benighted, how about taking some responsibility for yerself and go back and get it?
Edit: It really doesn't matter if the gear is shiny, nice and new- it's still tat when it gets left behind. Here's a small sampling of tat that I've cleaned from my local crag:

The letters were about 8" tall and 18" or so across.
I should have put my hand in the pic for scale.
