Are we really that almighty?

Last Saturday my path took me to the Slovenska smer in the Stena. A bit crowded, well I accept it, popular route, the mountain belongs to everyone. We descended via Tominškova path, where I experienced a cultural shock. When certain individuals climb Triglav, it seems they feel nobody can do anything to them anymore, and they don't need the mountains anyway since they've already been there. So these individuals become quite innovative in polluting: from the classic - papers, frutabela wrappers ..., then someone appears who with his piercing voice scares all the animals around the pass, then the group decides to literally write their names on the rock so we'll remember them and their "heroic" deeds. https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-GXhQQlvvvK0/Tmj2L7DSpvI/AAAAAAAAAQU/oaD5YhT9LxY/s512/DSCI0041.JPG
(hope the picture works)I'm sure if they had a chisel and hammer with them, they would chisel their names right in.

But I have a different opinion, given how many people go daily and on weekends to Triglav around Planika, Kredarica, over Prag, Plemenice, from Krma, hut Val.Stanič these are paths/goals I've hiked, there are very few troublemakers, I think many people appreciate nature, not posing like upper picture (probably more isolated case), friendliness not lacking, they let you pass if you're faster, not right away but when hikers before some small ferrata, they greet gladly too, almost never meet hiker who'd say extra word, except recently one asked if I know that hill.
Anyway positively surprised by number of hikers. Sometimes in mountains you need something unusual to hear or see for variety, like shrieking, yodeling, anything....LP

After a closer analysis of the handwriting and contours of the drawing, I'm convinced that the authors are "modern" Cro-Magnons.

No, we're not omnipotent, but unfortunately it's like that many don't know until they experience something that shows them they're not invulnerable, untouchable etc. and life can change or end in a moment...

Better to see such an inscription than all those memorial plaques in our hills, since I lost my father in the hills myself, it squeezes my heart a bit each time.

eh why worry, it's written with flowmaster it'll fade quickly anyway and rain will wash it, not so ugly either, although I don't support everyone leaving their autographs like this all over the mountains

with cultural shock I thought you met at least a black guy, if not an eskimo... joke... I agree with the statement that our mountains are quite clean, otherwise it costs you nothing to pick up something along the path yourself and take it back down! But I assure you the following that it's not only "foreigners" guilty of leaving pigsties! we can debate eternity about this "writing" unfortunately there's always an idiot!

That's nothing.
Someone obviously got himself a new ice cream chest and new parasol. The old "holiday" set traveled the entire valley of Kamniška Bistrica and further on really bad dirt road, where somewhere halfway to Jrmanca in desperation rolled it all down the slope.
Wouldn't it be easier for him and the "rescuers" if he left it all at some parking lot?

Yeah at that chest one really thinks, if it's so hard to drive to bulky waste, which is free.
