Don’t write about climbing areas

Dear Editor:

Really? Does the Moab Sun News (June 14 Get Out & Go article, “Three entry-level rock climbing destinations for new climbers”) really need to be suggesting places for people to go? These are small crags in sensitive areas that are seeing more use then ever before. Do we need another overcrowded area? Aren’t there enough in Moab already?

I know all of these areas are already in guidebooks and online, but they don’t need more exposure. Please refrain from doing these kind of exploitative articles. It’s hard enough living here and avoiding tourists, please don’t make it worse.
