Hey, I had left my mad rock crash pad under when doves cry at pistol ridge because I had been returning fairly often and didnt want to haul it up every time. Much to my dismay, I ran up there today to grab it for the winter and it was missing. If anyone snagged it thinking it was forgotten or the like I would really appeciate it back. I had no problem with others using it. Just was hoping with the other stuff i left up there it would be left up there. Thanks.

I lost a rope up there many years ago when I was working hidden dragon... It is not a safe place to stash stuff. Even though it seems like it should be fine. Only climbers go up there...

I cant think of what a non climber could use a crash pad for. Thats a bummer, I hope it turns up.

It is kinda sad that so many climbers don't understand basic etiquette. I saw some new climbers taking permadraws off a route. Luckily when I explained that they are there because it makes it easier to clean they put them back. Hope your pad shows up!

did they come with a wrench?

I couldn't agree more! Since when is it cool to stash a crash pad on forest service land? Stashing pads isn't an acceptable practice in RMNP where the approaches are significantly longer and more strenuous; why would it be acceptable here?

Very surprised no one said this earlier

yes. we have a real pad stashing crisis in the DBNF.

way to stay on top of this ethical quagmire, people.

According to some it seems the Red might be the next bouldering capital of the East!
