Found skis - Mt. Rainier, near Camp Curtis

[P_Buddy]

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!

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

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.

It's time to update Wikipedia's Chutzpah entry.

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.

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.
