I dropped a sport bean at the top of the black tower. However, I wanted to get to the top and didn't take the time to find it before leading off on the upper pitches of Epi. I don't really think its return warrants beer, but if you return to me I'll stoke you out with karma.

I once climbed a route in Red Rock and there were little Starburst candies left all the way up the route. They were delicious.

You should have posted about your find... and then returned them. Its the right thing to do.

They grow into sport beanstalks. Climbing the beanstalk is definitely sport cheating.

Healyje is going to have a stroke when he hears about this latest outrage.

I just Googled "sport beans" and was way off on what I thought this thread was about. I am behind in the times!

What happened to just eating food?

+1 for Starburst!

Let me get this straight. You drop this bean and just leave "because you didn't have the time" and expect someone to give you your bean back? Sorry, that's now how it works. Totally booty with no apologies.

Anyone want to head up there this weekend with me to score some free, semi-delicious calories (hope it's a blue one!) compliments of Patrick?

Is it really worth it? Only 0.99 will buy a whole package of Sport Beans ?

I found a loose sport bean at the base and I packed it out in case someone posted on MP. Let me know what flavor it was and I will overnight it to you.

Awesome! Bean is saved. Great Bean Karma heading your way.

Not cool Jason! How would you feel if you dropped one of your precious cliff shots?

You guys are so MP newbies, you should be posting in Lost and Found.

Nobody looks at lost and found. This is the only way to get it done.

If you aren't responsible enough to keep track of your own sport beans, than you don't deserve to be climbing! You must be some kind of gumby mama's boy! Maybe we should have a full maid service at every crag in America just to clean up your beans! This is pathetic. You deserve to lose your beans. if someone does return them, you owe them BIG TIME. You better kiss their feet, you sniveling little wimp.

Sincerely,
