I wouldn't mind rubber snakes at the bases of climbs, but I think leaving them for someone to find on top as you're topping out on a too short trad climb at Muir is a bit irresponsible.

Having said that, I moved said rubber snake into the crack on Kate's First Trad Lead.

What's even worse is when you are soloing up the flake near The Turret to set up TRs for kids and you almost mantle on a real nest of copperheads and you instinctively respond by jumping off the climb.

Even better than that was the time I killed a small rattlesnake with my bare hands as I mantled up a limestone ledge while out hiking alone.

Toys are cute, rubber snakes will cause you to go to hell. :wink:

weed, a pipe and a functional lighter. Definitely a cool thing to put at the top.

You are really on to something with this geo-toking idea.

News flash, you can walk up to the top of Fortress wall as well as Jewel Pinnacle. Those "summit registers" are trash and should be removed. Tower is one thing, but those are about as lame as a register on Chimney Rock.

Stashing buds is common in other places but they get all moldy around here, or that's what I've heard.
