I recently saw someone climbing the route between the tunnels.
Hurt my face, as I was smiling and frowning at the same time.

climbing at CR despite the ban is fundamentally uncool no matter how you try to justify it

banning activities for sexist, religous reasons is more fundamentally uncool than climbing.

I'm with the Fet.
Though, I think, as a show of goodwill, it would be best to stay off until this is settled. It will not be settled until we have the same 'rights' as those who are hoarding this public resource for their own selfish purposes. It will be settled.
We will climb there again, can we get over this nonsense, already?

Sorry to bring this back up to the top, after it's been drifting into the pit for a few months.
However, after stopping at the boat launch yesterday to drain the bladder I noted two climbers heading towards the lower cave. I personally respect the FS's ban on climbing, though it isn't really posted anywhere that the area is closed to climbing. Even in the Falcon guide there is no notable mention that it has been placed as off-limits to climbing.
Just passing the word that people are still climbing there.
Also, as a side note, was the hardware not removed after the ban went into effect? I was under the impression that it was. This was the first time I've visited Cave Rock since the ban, and I noted quite a few fixed draws hanging around.
Anyway, if the climbers who were there yesterday read this, please respect the closure. It's closed. Go somewhere else and deal with it.

I suggest getting drunk throwing beer cans around and trying your best to look Native American...If anyone questions you climbing at Cave Rock, tell them you are doing a ceremonial/spiritual PowWow to the great Spider Elder.
Geez, Drill a big tunnel through the rock and no big deal, try to climbi on the thing and it is disgracing the Holiness of the rock...
How about dressing up as Tonto, putting on war paint and climbing?

Great idea! Anyone up for the cave today?
(knott for climbing, I thought we could smash some bottles, shít and piss all over the place,
in other words, help restore Cave Rock to a knott-so-pristine, pre-climber-inhabited condition)

The cops busted my friend climbing there and he got a $200 ticket. I think it is ok to break bottles and do your business in the cave though, just don't touch the rock or you will steal it's mojo.

Wow, the internets are fun, huh? You can post anonymous, racially insensitive remarks, and not have to deal with consequences.

Dressing as Indians while engaging in acts of civil disobedience is The American Way, a tradition as old as The United States itself.
Ever heard of The Boston Tea Party? Those dudes weren't wearing dashikis.
