So, Chaz, what are you saying? At least there weren't any dogs at the crag?

Thanks for picking up after idiots! I end up doing that all the time out here. Matter of fact I picked up some stuff from the Buttermilks the other day.... a whole tent, camp chairs, cooler.....I only moved them a few feet though....but I left it all in a nice pile for the owner when they returned. I saw them when I was leaving, packing up and moving across the road where they should have been in the first place....

So, Chaz...it's your dog's fault??
Or are you saying that if those idjuts who left that shite had brought their trash-eating dogs with them, there wouldn't have been a problem?
I thought dogs stopped eating Lexan waterbottles...scared to death of BPA...you just can't seem to convince a dog that Lexan doesn't have any BPA in it. Silly pups.

Oh, there were dogs at the crag, but unfortunately, there were a fair number of two-legged pigs as well. All I'm saying is, if you pack it in to the crag, it should be packed back out as well.

Tami,
If you want your water bottle back, just send me a PM and describe the logo on the side.

Chaz has goats and a donkey, which together eat damn near anything. Far more effective than mere dogs.

Tami, bring the negativity down a notch, please. First you start, with the rhyming, climbing Bernadette with a cordelette or an equalette. Now this?

I'm not talking about dogs ( although they like trash ), I'm talking about these guys:
Charcoal Farkel, eating another jury summons, or a census form, or something.

They look like dogs to me...big, hungry dogs, who shouldn't be left alone at the crag. They could steal me lunch!

chaz--i hope you're not the local goat owner with the permit to shoot the three remaining mountain lions in the santa monicas. (the government has taken sides with frogs against mountain lions, you know--i'm sure they know what they're doing.)
bump for ben's cleanup. be nice to ben or tony bird will be all over you. not kidding about that.

Me too, Pate. I just learned that the tootbrush was invented in Arkansas.
If it had been invented anywhere else it woulda been called a teethbrush.

I like the idea of stringing a rope along the base of a crag and attaching goats on a 10' leash so they can travel the base of the crag and eat the grass without venturing into the fauna further from the base. ...probably be better the string the base and goat leashes with steel wire.
Then you can litter and it'd be caring for the goat stewards.

Orange peels don't degrade quickly and other animals are not interested in them. Pack 'em out.

Thanks for helping to clean up the area, and for doing what those before you should have.
I've been crack climbing lately a fair amount and it's disturbing how often I find discarded tape at the base of the routes.
Let's all pledge to be better stewards of the areas we frequent...

Here's the Pre-CleanUp I did at the MUA(free camping area) in the Gunks I did last season:
South Side of Road Parking Area
North Side of Road Parking Area
What sort of people would leave their personal trash at a place clearly marked, and well known, as a "Pack In/Out" spot? Oh.....I see....the types who would shop at a Whole Foods, perhpas. Whole Hypocrites!

A pile of dirt.

Whole Hypocrites - that's f-ing funny.
Strange though I saw a lot of booty in the initial post. Nalgeenes, water bottles, etc. The rest is just for the fire...or chaz's dog.

OK, I'm on a rant today.
There are two threads running today about climbers bailing on gear for whatever reason, and notifying others that it's there for the taking, or they might like it back. WTF?
I can understand leaving gear when there is a serious emergency, but when you simply get spanked or benighted, how about taking some responsibility for yerself and go back and get it?
Edit: It really doesn't matter if the gear is shiny, nice and new- it's still tat when it gets left behind. Here's a small sampling of tat that I've cleaned from my local crag:

The letters were about 8" tall and 18" or so across.
I should have put my hand in the pic for scale.
