b-rock Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 So what is the ethic when it comes to climbing booty found at the crags? I've heard talk about peices being 'fixed' on routes, but how could one tell? Anyways, found a tricam on a locking biner 40 feet up at Broughton and I took it. Should I put it back?

pope Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 If you can't get it, it's fixed. If you can, it's booty. Need some quick-draws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnrgr Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 There is a cordelette and biner on top of damnation crack, if any one wants it. It fell as I was climbing midway on Castle rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackhead Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I got a #2 camelot at tha base of Munginella in the valley two weeks ago. It was hanging in a tree. sweet. brand new! Thanks Gumby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joekania Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I find that if the booty is big enough to climb, I don't want anything to do with it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRCO Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I seem to find a lot of stuff when I linger behind a group of Mountaineers. I have several cams on my rack that were left behind on the Tooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 After scrounging for money in a depressed economy for years I finally found the solution to putting together a rack cheaply. I used to cruise the Glacier Point Apron in free solo mode every evening snagging gear. The easier the climbing, the more gear I found. Am I a sleaze because I took booty from the Apron? I think not. I earned those credentials elsewhere. If I should leave a piece that you find retreivable, I wish you as much fun as I had with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_White Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 My friend Steve has rapped the Nose several times to glean gear left behind, I gather its been very lucrative.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texplorer Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Three of us scored 4 cams, a keyhole hanger, a low-ball and several nuts and biners from the base of the trade routes there in a couple of hours.

Its good to be a pirate ARRRRRR!!!! Werd Tex! Secrets of the booty trade: ALWAYS wear a helmet while scoping for ground score...how do you think that shit ends up at the base? Look up in the trees...found more than one cam snagged in the tree limbs at Church Bowl. Climb Nutcracker or Arches after a thunderstorm. Two nut tools do wonders when trying to clean stuck gear. Look for the newbies with a shiny new rack...follow them up something (and wear a helmet!) they're bound to leave something. The flake before the 5.4 ramp on Nutcracker eats .75 camalots for lunch...extracted two in two trips..and gave them back to their owners at the top both times. And the real scoop on booty in the valley: Curry Village Pizza deck in the afternoon...lots of booty around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Last weekend there was a hex stuck in the 5.8 to the left of "big man on campus" on the student wall at Smith. Go get it boys!!! I tried, but had no nut tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
