There once was a time you needed a sharp eye to find the unsanctioned stuff. You HAD to really go looking for it, both entrances and exits. Seems this is long gone. Entrances and exits are skidded in straight onto and off the main climbing routes. No longer are these unsanctioned hidden gems. Etiquette has gone out the window, smash it hard in a feeding frenzy like a powder day on WB.
I don't take issue with most of these unsanctioned trails existing or us riding them. It's that too much of this on open display can jeopardize our increased access to create more sanctioned trails.
