I have heard of booty from off the wall but when its on the ground it is not fair game. i left it unattended for about 2 1/2 hours and some guys and girls thought it would be okay to call it their own {probaly some gumbies that cant climb v1, cause no real climber would have the nerve to do that}
i left it there so if somebody wanted to use an extraone they could but not for the rest of their lives
if you have seen a hunter green metolius large crash pad please contact endlessfallsc@yahoo.com thanks to all you real folks out there!
Who steals a crash pad?!

Then again, maybe they thought it was left behind. It seems like a ridiculous idea, but then again who leaves a crash pad at an empty bouldering area for 2 1/2 hours?
Post here - in the bouldering forum.
Also, post on the SCC site and the CCC site
And contact Anthony Love, at NCbouldering.com. Matbe he'll put up a message.

yeah, the same thing happened to me when I left the keys in my car. And I was only gone for 2 hours. I bet whoever took my car couldn't climb V1 either.

I know brutha... No worries. :wink:
Not too cool to make fun of one being victimized... And way to welcome a new user to the site. :roll:
Hell, I left my camera in Tahquitz last summer ou tof my own stupidity, made a post about it the next day, and got an email from the guy who found it. Got it back.
Good to have good climbing karma, bad to laugh at another's demise... Bad for the karma Derick. :wink:

You really shouldn't be leaving a crash pad lying around for a few hours. It looks like S%*t. Access to bouldering areas all over the country are in the process of being restricted. It doesn't help if climbers leaver crap lying strewn around while they climb. It doesn't show much respect for the area. Would you like it if someone dumped a mattress in your front lawn for a few hours?
However, I'm sorry that you got ripped off. You didn't deserve that. Was it private or public land? If I were the landowner and I drove by and saw junk lying around unattended I would remove it. If I were a ranger patrolling public land I would do the same. You might want to check with the party responsible for keeping a watch on the land.

I've never been to rumbling bald (so pardon this if its a stupid question) but is it national park land where there is a central park ranger office or something where someone might of taken it when they found it there thinking someone forgot it? (I know kind of far fetched but its possible?)
By the way...Welcome to rc.com! :D

do you have your name or adress on the pad?
if not, asking if anyone has seen your hunter green metolius crash pad is like asking if anyone has seen your green 50 dollar bill.
good luck!

i'll agree that 2.5 hrs is a long time to leave something, but at the same time i'd hope that a climber wouldn't claim it as an abandoned item.
non-climbers, i'm guessing, would have no use for a crashpad, nor want to haul a semi-useless item out.
climbers, i'm hoping, wouldn't think it was left. i mean, crashpads aren't all that cheap and they're kinda large to just forget (i can see forgetting to put a piece of pro in the pack, but a pad??). same goes for a rope 'n such. they're not small items that are normally forgotten behind.
i can't speak for others but when i walk by an unattended toprope setup or pad i'm not going to assume that the rope and anchor gear or the pad has been abandoned and it's first-come-first-serve.
