WANTED: Climber who scaled Salt Palace at OR to retrieve lighted Frisbee on roof

 

Greetings.

 

We are looking for some help finding a climber

from Canada named "Steve." Here's the story:

 

We met Steve at the after-hours gig on Thursday

night of the Fall Outdoor Retailer Show in SLC

when he approached us as we were tossing the disc

around after dark. He wanted one of our Flashflight

lighted discs for his post-climbing evening

entertainment. We told him, somewhat jokingly, that he

could have all the lighted discs on the roof that

had been miss-fired during our "beer-in-hand"

throw-around.

 

Steve doesn't joke around. He walked past

security officials and, in front of us all, proceded to

scale the side of the Salt Palace. Gripping the

brick with single digits and toes, he scaled a

corner wall with precision, secured all the Frisbees

on the roof, dropped them to his girlfriend, and

then down-climbed in the same manner. He was

flawless.

 

As the police threatened to haul him off, we

interfered and explained that this is the Outdoor

Retailer Show and perhaps some of the best climbers

in the outdoor industry are present, as they just

witnessed. As well, he was a "sponsored athlete"

(this was off-the-cuff; we decided then and there

to sponsor him after witnessing his prowess on

the bricks) and he should be rewarded for his

efforts rather than penalized. After freeing Steve

from the grip of the law, we parted directions with

our newly sponsored athlete, promising to stay in

touch.

 

However, we forgot to tell Steve he was now being

sponsored by Flashflight (remember the beer?),

and we don't know how to contact him.

 

If you know of a climber named "Steve" from

Canada who climbed the Salt Palace at the OR show,

will you please respond with any contact information

you might have? We'd hate to see an outdoor

athlete of this stature without a lighted disc for his

or her evening enjoyment. Thanks!

 

All the best,

Poor Steve. Tragicly denied his due sponsorship by the lighted-frisbee industry by a sad twist of fate. If only things had turned out different, Steve could be sitting on top of the lighted frisbee world. What a travesty.
