P_Buddy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Skiing off the Emmons-Winthrop Glacier yesterday and found a pair of skis deep in the snow. At first I thought they were abandoned/lost, but in retrospect I feel as if they may have possibly been stashed (which would make me a complete ass for taking them). In my defense I was exhausted, dehydrated, still very very poor, and in desperate need of new skis; so coming across these skis was like finding pizza beer and naked women at the end of an awesome summit. If anybody can claim these skis: Make, Model, Length, and Binding - then they are yours. Otherwise in ONE MONTH of this posting I am a happy camper. Additionally a reward of some sort would be greatly appreciated given (some of) the circumstances; hell, I had to pack them out for almost half the decent which put a big damper on my turns. Cheers!

Brady Hubler Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I am working with the owner today. Please call 206-799-1022. He will give you the exact location of where they were stashed while he was climbing and their description. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_a Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 well at least you're being honest ...i wouldn't expect a 'reward' for swiping someone's stashed equipment while they were on a climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtneer ordinaire Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 It's time to update Wikipedia's Chutzpah entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Buddy Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Yes, I am most likely going to be found under Chutzpah on Wikipedia. I called the owner just a few minutes ago and will be dropping them off at his work tomorrow, and I will DEFINITELY not expect, nor deserve, any reward whatsoever for I am by definition an ASS. I am humbler from this experience and hope this does not affect my ski/mountaineering karma to its fullest extent. To the owner of the skis, as well as his friends, I am absolutely sorry.

Edlinger Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 So did you buy the guy dinner for your heinous sin? Depending on the trip, season or mountain range, the act could have been life-threatening due to fatigue, exhaustion, storms, or floatation.
