So Mitch is the one who smashed the bolts on Whipsaw and almost caused a ground fall by a fellow climber .Wacked out ethics???Chopping a first accent, wacked out ethics????Reherseing and pink pointing a crack and calling it a first accent ,wacked out ethics.GET A GRIP

Tested in an overloaded ,overweighted condition over an extended period (years) the Wild things Ice Sack Sucks The Trango Alpine rules.

Ya I shop at kmart and not the Bon. I don't return trashed gear, When I return gear it is in restockable condition unless it was junk and fell apart.If you keep eating junk they will keep selling it to you!!!!

My point was Buy from who gives back,Look at the corporate partners of the Access Fund ,Everyone on this sprayboard does belong don't they?? REI doesn't usually carry cutting edge climbing equipment ,Then I buy from small shops like Pro MT sports or Alpine Experence(they always seam to treat me good) Its always nice to see climbings bums on staff.

Let me see REI you can return just about anything, they have been in this state forever they hire climbers hikers and outdoor type people. There a co-op so all the money doesn't go into one dudes pocket. Try reading REI 50 years of climbing together.REI last year gave over 20,000 to the access fund I recently bought a !!!!! Scree pack it killed my back I sure was glad I bought it at REI instead of !!!!! or I would have been stuck with it there return policy is ,you went out the store with it it's yours .And I love that REI 10% back and there used gear sale.How much gear is in your closet that sucked and you couldn't use .Anyone want to buy that wild things Ice Sac pack thats been in my closet for two years the mag gear reviewers forgot to mention it sucks with a heavy load.

The RC and the bend do not yeild classic sport climbs the holds and the moves just arn't there .When I go there I take a rack and savor the all natural lines and the lack of crowds and day glow Lycra .This is just What I think and in no way do I want to push my ethics on someone else.As with red M&M's at the coulee some things should be saved To savor if not by yourself than by others.Just trying to prevoke intelligent thought.Oh thats right this a sprayboard and I'm just a clip Whore Whoops.

The Royal Columns and the Bend is a leave it as you found it area ,even the addition of anchors can be intrusive.Don't bolt it ,Don't SPRAY about it .SAVOR the good things!!!

He only does credit cards ond other non traceable goodies like guns and smoke allways leaves climbing gear hence he could be linked back to the crime .Slap he has slashed my tires in the past for bringing the heat on him, carefull with that car discription I drive a Subaru Outback or my S.U.V.( Super Ugly Vehicle )like all really cool climbers.

Just so you know the I90 bandit has been known to hang in the trees across the road from the parking lot with Binoculars and watch you stash you goodies.

See thread on rec climbing for more scare stories.Take the cards with you!!!!

The I90 bandit did a dozen cars last week .The new trick is to stuff bogus cards in place off stolen ones.

Caveman I've made a copy off the RC and the bend it's in my rig ,got a project i'm going to start in NB thur.lets hook up and I will give it to you.

OK my mouth has gotten me into Trouble in the past and will proably get me into trouble in the future !!!!!!! [This message has been edited by LUCKY (edited 09-03-2001).]

D.C. crags at exit 38 is the cash cow for credit card thieves. they have been known to steal one credit card of many leaveing cash and locking car back up so as to be able to come back again and again .This also gives them time to empty the account.Has been seen in the past WM 5'11 175lb dirty blond hair driveing black chevy blazer there is more than one.Help stop these bandits from targeting climbers ,take your valuables with you.Watch the parking lot ,post on this board of sightings ,call the police if seen in the act.
