Kind sucks. Logged a little flight time above the crux on Team Machine yesterday, 5/27, before the sun got on it and by the time I lowered the sun came over the top so we left the three draws there until late in the day when it's climable again and went over to the North Bridge wall. Came back maybe 5 hours later and the draws were gone . Some group climbed Easily Flakey and nicked the draws while lowering. Not a huge deal, 2 of the draws are seriously old school lime green and yellow Petzl dg's with a purple Hotwire and one was a brand new BD Hotwire draw, it's just the f*$%@&g principle. Hope the old Petzl's fail!!!

Just curious. How do you know they climbed Easily Flakey and lowered off to get them?

I left a 35 yr old SMC biner on a route when I bailed on Wed. It had better still be there this weekend.

Not abandoned numb nuts - overnight maybe but not for the afternoon . The route is not really climable in full sun and there was another party on Easily when we got back that saw the previous group on Easily. Would have been relatively easy to walk around and lower in to get them but would have had to put 'em back up a few hours later anyway. If someone wanted to lead it they would have been welcome to use the draws. Again, not all that bummed, just disappointed by idiots.
