just because it's tradition doesn't protect them from being assholes. think of all of the "traditions" at frat houses.. but i would agree that it should be expected that if you leave a piece, it's pretty much gone. still doesn't make that person walking off with it alright..

Aren't there some climbers that don't read the billboard or go to Miguel's? Or is that some other way of defining non-climbers? Hell, since I'm not a "real" climber does it matter if I take booty? I mean, it's a miracle I could even get to the top of a route anyway since I'm not a real climber.
