So that means the GUBMENT done be stealin' from me!
So I took a couple of square nails out of the back of a shallow hand hewn mine in the Rockies. The guy that left them there was probably dead 50 years at least by then. Was I stealing?
I still see a difference between sport and trad here. Trad people don't abandon a piece unless they can't get it back. Oh, and trad people have been doing this since the 1800's whereas sport climbing is in its infancy, barely escaped from the gymns so traddies already know that abandoned gear is booty. Sport climbers, on the other hand, are used to locker rooms and showers and expect that their draws will stay by the pink holds, or whatever perverted thing it is that gymn climbers do. Yeah. I'm watchin' you people. Weirdos.
[disclaimer: Alan Evil is not and probably will never qualify as a "real" climber. Anything he has to say about climbing is mostly regurgitated shit from a lifetime of reading and a recent subscription to Climbing Magazine. i.e. He may be dismissed at will.]

Stupid taddies still havent figured it out.Why dont they have better climbers preplace thier gear for months so they can show up at thier liesure and claim a send?All that ethics crap was just invented by a bunch of old farts.Get with times.
