Sol Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I've only been climbing at Index for about a year, but a lot of it has been aiding in the rain, in the winter, by myself. Gear count to date: Petzl Ecrin Roc Helmet Belay Jacket Pair of climbing shoes 4 wired nuts Lost arrow (chill, I found it on the ground) wild country friend brand new spectra cordellete 2 brand new petzl attache biners 4 ovals 1 misc. locker Each time I found gear that was substantial I put a sign in the parking lot. No one has ever called. I gave the helmet, shoes, and belay jacket to indigent climbers in need. I actually ran into the guys who left the brand new expensive cordellete anchor about six weeks after I retreived it and gave it back. the last thing you want is bad gear karma. on a side note, is that blue alien still fixed at the crux on Princely's first pitch?

DCramer Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Once I left my pack at Index and it was on my front porch when made it home later that evening. I did not know the guy who found it but he looked my address up in the phone book and found out where I lived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackbolter Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 on a side note, is that blue alien still fixed at the crux on Princely's first pitch? Still there. I thought it was a metolious though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 on a side note, is that blue alien still fixed at the crux on Princely's first pitch? Still there. I thought it was a metolious though. The cam that I am refering too was placed in the thin crack that begins yout zig back left after you have completed your zag right, above the fixed orange metolius that's been there for a while, and just past the satanic rope drag nut placements that some choose to place. It's the only cam that I've ever lost. It had been taken off my rack and was intended to ship to CCH for repair because the metal sleeve that activates the cam was nearly seperated. Somehow , instead of grabbing my girlfriends blue alien, mine got on the rack, lasted long enough to place, and then broke while attempting to clean. Lame!!!!!!!!!!!!! as soon as my tendonitis subsides i'm heading back with a toolbox (i.e crowbar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 So seeing no real objection, does this mean it's technically acceptable for someone to intentionally seek out bailing parties in order to steal their gear? Not that I would ever walk away with hundreds of dollars of my own gear hanging on the wall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Go read the thread over there. Quite a bit of objection. Gettin' heated over there. They might have to hold hands and sing songs to bond or something if it gets any meaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Yes it is. I've watched gumbies climb and said to my partner, hey lets see if they bail. If they do....gear for me. I would tell them I had it and would give it back cuz I'm a nice guy. This is somewhat = to leaving a crag cuz you know someone's gonna need a rescue.

ashw_justin Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 You're right, gumbies shouldn't have all that nice gear anyway, this way they will just have to freesolo everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willstrickland Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Yeah, I actually have met that guy too, Chris something. He lives down in the Mat-Su valley a little north of Anchorage. Funny dude, had some crazy pictures of a grizzly he had to kill once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
