    Climbing it for fun is also “white people behavior.” You can’t really use an argument like that without considering what the base level of climbing it at all also means. This is an argument in made in bad faith. Either climbing it for fun is already a violation of it being sacred, in which case how is this any worse, or it isn’t, in which case how is this any worse?

        I this way, yes, it is. Yes, native people also probably climbed it, but it was spiritually significant, not for Instagram pictures or whatever.

            I do it for fun. It’s a “white person thing” if hanging a flag is.

                I’m an eagle scout. I’ve done a fair amount of hiking/backpacking/etc.

                Who are you talking about? Native people or these modern people? Both of the have, although the modern people removed theirs when they were done. I don’t have an issue with native people decorating rocks though.
