Hey guys/gals/climbers. I have just had a lot of gear stolen from basement. I wanted to alert folks on this site, but also have people be vigilant for any of this gear. If you hear/see any of this or any other suspicious postings, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for the help. Below is a list of the gear that has gone missing. There might be more that I haven't noticed, but this is the preliminary list. Thanks again.

gavin took bushwacker to the rim, and a later crew threw an anchor in it, thinking it was an fa. the story is the same for fissuremen, if i'm not mistaken. there are other routes that might get more traffic if they had an anchor (ie lou dog). i was chatting with phillip and jeff yesterday about this whole issue of a crag's development, and we were equating trout's trajectory to life stages. early interest (2001ish) was that adolescent phase where you don't want any one to play with your toys. 2004 was the time of the juvenile, where you recognize that you need to share, but still don't like it or want to talk about it. last year seemed like a good year for maturing for the crag, with a sense of community/sharing/psyche. hopefully 2008 will see more development of the community (ie mature adult status) and people can just get out and dig the climbing. it's all about life stages. this place will see more traffic... but don't be scared. there will always be things to climb. hell, two new routes went up yesterday... and one of them 8 feet right gold rush... the most climbed route at the place.
