That's great you caught it on video. You demonstrated an admirable control that I lack with people like that. I'm afraid I would have hung him up there by his scraggly beard on about the fifth bolt and let him twist in the wind. Good work!

I can see the chalk but you can't see the draws on the rock, unless you are on a trail at the base. Chalk is a bigger offender then fixed draws at Smith, but its an accepted part of the climbing scene just like draws. We are lucky to have such a world class area, as well as world class management that understands that there are many places that are wilderness as well as places that are not.

Let me tell you pal, there are some old school 10's in this country [...] that would make you sh*t your gym panties. Awesome. I used to hold and spew this stereotype, too. Be sure to cover your eyes as these gym wankers mature and gain trad experience. They aren't wasting their time on the relative trivialities of 5.10R.
The 13 and up climbers around here - the older ones tend to have long histories of trad climbing - and got bored - Steve Hong for example.
The younger ones - it's just a matter of time - look at Matt Segal's # of yrs climbing and progression from gym to trad, for example.
My biggest regret in my climbing career is the wasted years I spent spewing about how cool I was on 5.10R or A5 or WTF ever as a substitute for getting better at something that is actually hard.

There's no telling what non-climbers will see or not see, Studly.
In Colorado's dark-red-rock Eldorado Canyon, I've been told by rangers that non-climbing visitors usually assume that the white marks are left by pigeons.
On the other hand, a sport route like Your Mother, which sits near a popular trail, and now features fixed draws on a regular basis, gets hikers complaining regularly to the rangers, who in turn complain to climbers.

---the wasted years I spent spewing about how cool I was---
Don't worry, you're still spewing plenty.
Jello didn't have any fixed draws on Metanoia, and it's not 5.14 either. Unrepeated, hmmm.
Seems like a good place to treat your boredom.
Bolts are sooooo badass!

He's just collecting the draws because they are "magically delicious".

Impressed by the guys who caught him, their composure is commendable.
It would have been nice to have this video in about 2002, could have forwarded it to the Bush Admin.

It would be almost impossible to prosecute someone for stealing draws on a cliff on state or federal property, unless the state or feds owned the draws.

OMG - I am wearing a skirt.
Alas, I am not pre-menstrual, but peri-menapausal. Let's not split hairs.
Never posed as a hard man. Never committed a jailable offense.
I still will be watching out for this dude and will warn others.
Candy ass = me.

Later, time to go ski a 14er.
Getting a late start? In a blizzard?
old men and slackers threatening violence in the safest way, against someone you will never, ever meet.
But at a minimum I'd taunt him and puff my chest out. And yell you're lucky your mom is here or I'd of kicked your ass.
