Grateful to @bishopclimbingrangers for modeling genuine stewardship for the land. They offer creative ways to keep your pups in range plus my all time favorite pro: the little pink tricam! Little pink tricam Who do I love thee? Let me count the ways! #Repost @bishopclimbingrangers ・・・ As a community, climbers love the Eastern Sierra. The climbing, camping, and scenery are all world-class. Help us to protect the area’s iconic plant: Sagebrush. 2 Ways you can help: Keep crash pads within delineated areas at the Happys, Sads, Buttermilks, and any other local climbing area. Refrain from tethering your dogs to plants at the crag, which causes damage🐶. The Sage here is fragile and often looks dead but will spring to life with new growth after precipitation🌧. Alternative place to tether your dog: The Rocks! Pics 2-6 show a few simple gear anchors: Cams, Nuts, and Tricams (which can act as a Cam or a Nut). Place the gear in a crack in solid rock and use anywhere from 1 to 3 bomber pieces to tether your dog. On a budget? Tricams are relatively inexpensive, versatile, and fit into tight spots that cams will not. Ask a friend for hand-me-downs: Your trad-stoker friend probably has an extra set of cobweb-covered Tricams looking for a new home 🕷. As always, be considerate of others: don’t place anchors on existing problems or cultural sites. #pinktricam #triharder #traddadz #tradmommy #rockclimbing #bishop #easternsierra #buttermilks #happyboulders #dontcrushthebrush https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmj60YaPjw-67sRrUkUNaBG6DzOhpYCNGU3T4s0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
