Way Over the Line!

To the weak and misguided soul who chopped the belay station and painted a swastika on the rock at Limbo Rock in Vedauwoo:

It's sad that you are so broken and insecure. It is also sad that your stupidity allowed you to deface my home crag-a wonderful place we all enjoy. Your message of hatred, no matter how pathetic, has been heard. It doesn't point me to a legit viewpoint; it only emphasizes your lack of maturity and your ignorance. I'd like to have an opportunity to discuss your antisemitic viewpoint and your destructive action in person. Reply to me if you can muster some modicum of courage. If not, you will have confirmed my assumptions about your character as you run away from your responsibility.

conservation nazis!

making the planet safe from the unpure race, and texans

sieg hail!

I've never been to Vedauwoo. Is the belay station accessible to non-climbers?

Smokey this is not Nam. This is climbing. There are rules.

Haters..

Not my bolts...just my planet. Don't crap on it or its inhabitants...pretty please.

Any graffiti on rock is wrong. I wish all would respect the environment. With that said I doubt any climbers did such a horrible act. I go to the Voo a lot and have noticed loads of trash, glass and graffiti all over. Especially at the primitive camp sites. Again I seriously doubt this is from climbers...........

Well this stuff does an amazing job at washing off Grafiti:

Spray, let it sit for 20 min and, wash off...

Southern Wyoming is kind of a pit, so I don't find that totally suprising. It's the only place I've seen swastikas and white power written on a bathroom wall. I didn't know people did that anymore.

At least they have an ethos.

Glenn- You could probably start the WY v. CO thread elsewhere, maybe one of the forums unrelated to climbing.

BretWith1T- I agree with PrincessMia, it seems as though people have been thoroughly trashing the dispersed sites more and more. The sites near End of the Road, along Vedauwoo Rd, and down near Devil's Playground are frequently covered with debris and generally trashed. The lot near Beer Crack looks like it was defiled as of late. Graffiti popped up on some boulders at the Nautilus last year and that parking lot has been in littered with shit this season, too.

I recently read about the Broken Windows theory (link here), an idea that accepting certain things as norms, like accepting the current state of Vedauwoo, begets further abuses.

Whether you agree with the theory or not, maybe it would take an effort from some locals taking care of the place to effect a change. Maybe not, I don't know. At least it would look better. I wouldn't mind meeting up with some folks to do a cleanup.

Oh I do. No offense meant really, but hey it's true.

See you on the next Boulder bashing page.

We really don't have a lot of variety happening on the site, do we? For what it's worth, I would have posted a celtic cross to throw the Irish under the bus. And replaced the bolts with knifeblades for later free climbing. I see dumb people...

Troll. Try placing KB's on a slab. Silly boy.
