Dear NCC

Okay, so I appreciate your cycling paths. But I am extremely unhappy with the decision to close more than 90% of the rock climbing walls on the Eardley Escarpment in Gatineau Park. A little public consultation, a little transparency, a little attempt to co-operate with the Ottawa-Gatineau Climbers Access Coalition would have gone a long way toward helping me understand why I'm no longer going to be allowed to climb outdoors.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled cycling blog.
