bad stewardship

ladder
Another ladder Never been to Ouray in the summer, went for a visit recently and was surprised to see three ladders in the river near the School Room climbing area. It appears these are some of the ladders used to get around the bottom of the canyon. But were apparently left, and the spring runoff deposited them where you see them in the photos. I would assume that the people in charge of the ice park would show better stewardship with respect to their resource, where they make their income, guess thats wishful thinking. |

....they're in the storage room |
|
What I would do is take a picture and ask someone else to pick them up. |
|
^^^but that's just because you are such a humanitarian ... |
|
The rope going through the bolt bothers me alot more than some random ladders. |
|
the 3rd picture in the set that you forgot to post is the ladders in your rig headed for the dumpster right? |

But when you ask them to pick it up you wouldn't actually "ask" right? You'd post it on the internet so you wouldn't have to make any of that eye contact they used to do in the '80's? |

They are by the Verminator climbing area. Hoped people would take care of the environment, especially those making their money off it. I don't know anybody that works there, I'm only a lowly Frontranger. They are in the river. |

I know this is probly late notice, but 2 years ago I was leading out, had a little mini-epic, and took a nice fall. Unfortunately My crevasse ladder snapped off my harness along with my fixed line at a bolt anchor. I know, gumby mistake. I ended up with a c6.664 non-displaced free-range organic fracture, bruised left testicle, supernumerary nipple, and irritable bowel syndrome. |

Do you see the color of the stone etc around the area? That's all from the mining operations up stream that you neglected to acknowledge in your bitching about an aluminum ladder or two and some old rope and a few bolts. |

Mixed metals!! Aaaaa... we're ALL gonna die!!! |
|
Ice climbers are dirtbags, didn't you know that? |
|
So why did they get ten other ladders out? Ever heard of filters you cubicle gapers? |
