To whomever decided to take my draws and anchor biners from the Master's Wall, that was stealing, not recovering booty. I would really like them back, 12 biners and 5 dogbones is not cheap. You can send them via us mail to PO Box 785, Silverton, CO, 81433. Thanks.

Man, I don't usually comment on these things, but this seems to be a new problem in our area. I've bolted many of the routes at Lemon, and we are having the same problem. DRAWS ON SPORT CLIMBS ARE NOT BOOTY and biners on anchors ARE NOT BOOTY!!

Shepherd, call woods then I'll stop stealing your draws and anchor biners! ;)
