Hey thanks so much for all your support. It definately sucked to walk up to that route and notice our gear was gone. We sat there in tears (Pat just cried a little of course). We are still trying to figure out exactly what we had on it as Pat and I were putting in different gear and then will post on the Utah climbers site -- thanks for the suggestion! It looks like 5-6 new BD 5s and 3-4 BD 4s and/or 3.5s as well as 20 or so Neutrino and Spectre biners on new draws including one of those ridiculously stylish DMM Revolver biners. Again, thanks so much to you all it really helps knowing there are some nice and supportive people out there. ~Shanti
PS Riley glad you like that pic! I thought it was cool until I noticed I peeled the skin off a finger and then I made Pat take a pic cause I thought it was REALLY cool!!!

I have a Yates big dude I could lend/mail to you if you need big guns to keep the proj going. E-mail me if you want it.
Sorry about your gear. I reckon meth is the root of most of these thefts.

Is there a list of the stolen goods yet? Pictures and markings?
Big cams are not cheap for sure.

Sorry to hear about the wide gear, or anybody's gear being stolen. It sounds like sort of an inside job. Somebody at least peripherally connected to the project may be the culprits.
Good luck on finding justice brothers.

Sorry to hear about this. And even sorrier to realize that the thieves must be climbers.
But ours is a small world, and eventually someone will find them out. I know that doesn't make it any easier for you two today, but...

Having read this thread to the end, and having a knot in my stomach to see the loss of integrity and respect in the climbing community (I think it started with sport climbing... ok, i'm kidding), I will say that aside from a couple of problem children, I am blown away at the support that I'm seeing from the rest of you remarkable folks. It's not good that the response is created by the theft, but I still applaud the response and the support.
Sorry, I have no gear to offer. I do hope to hear about what happens to the people that are caught. I have a good imagination if you need suggestions...

Sounds like this offwidth demands more than a piece or two but you can have my #5 BD. Never been used. I could get it to Kevin in Butte or else to Bozeman.

Arne-
I could get it from Missoula to Kevin - I'm at Georgetown every weekend and
my wife works in Butte and can get it there.
Pat - I might have some stuff (tube chocks - #7 lowe tricam). Nothing bigger. One big bro i could make a long term loan.
Sorry for the bad expierence.

THANKS AGAIN!!!
Pat and I just want to thank everyone again for all the generous gear offers and support. Inspired by our lack of BD 4s and 5s we decided to go wider and do perhaps the first repeat (?) of Craig Leubben's 150' brutal squeeze chimmney the Dragon's Lair which required about 6 Blue Bros and a 12" VG!!!
Apparently the thief who stole our cams, but couldn't remove the Bros, didn't realize there's a COLLAR ya gotta turn on a Big Bro to remove it and that, no, slamming them with a nut tool will not help. So, now we're thinkin' of goin' Craig style -- skipping the cams and goin' ALL Big Bros -- gear thief proof!
PS Hey Jaybro that's 150' of Bruegal Chickens to you!!!
~Shanti and Pat
