Apparently some visitors to Muir have forgotten that published rules specifically prohibit fires. There have been several unauthorized fires built in the Valley over the past few months, even after a large, carelessly started forest fire three years ago.
Monday a group of climbers built a campfire at the belaying base of Johnny’s Wall. When informed by a representative of Muir that this was not allowed, they argued that there was no rule against fire and they needed it to keep warm.
Flameless propane catalytic heaters and chemical hand warmers are fine; building a fire in Muir is not.

Some people like learning rules the hard way..Seriously, post the names if you know or where the tools are from, and maybe a little tough love just on the forum will help keep people honest.
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.
that sucks. Personally I like going to Muir but avoid the moderate areas cause of stupid things like that going on that I don't want to get involved with or have to haul them out. Seriously, how stupid can you get? so cold you need to build a freaking fire, stay in the f*cking gym
Sand inhibits the production of toughtosterone, so get it out and send.
