So the rope was hanging on Leviticus, a route that has had no known second ascent in over 25 years. He had gone to extra effort to make sure the rope was not hanging in the way of Genesis. The thief either had to mini-traxion up 13a or jumar the rope the anchor. "My boy" reported it to the park.

Bottom line is someone didn't like his ethics/internet attitude and decided to steal his rope and draws.

Lame.

Sounds like JLP and Chief have a promising career in law enforcement.

Cosmic, make yourself at home!

"Lame." Agreed

"Sounds like JLP and Chief have a promising career in law enforcement." x2

Hope he gets his rope and draws back.

Stolen rope, not stolen dope.

Have checked with Paul Ryan. He does not have it.

He says to please post a picture of what the missing rope looks like, he's out and about a lot and will keep an eye peeled.

He also suggested that the owner just borrow the money from his (not Ryan's, they're dead) parents for a brand new rope.

It's a mirical that the govt lets us climb their rocks and put bolts in their rocks. leaveing fixed draws and ropes is incredibly short sighted. It draws attention to our impact on the area. Anyone that leaves fixed draws and ropes is endangering the access for everyone.

3. All abandoned personal property, other than motor vehicles,
which is not claimed within six months shall be sold for
cash to the highest bidder at a public auction [....]

Hmmm, the above language suggests that abandoned property is not necessarily "finders keepers"; rather, it can be claimed for six months, and if it isn't it gets sold. Admittedly, this could be ambiguous when the "abandoned" property is picked up by a third party rather than by the park. But I'm not so sure that the "thief" is legally in the clear.

Since I wasted time posting, for whatever reason, I'll put in my $.02. (1) The "thief" should give the rope back, (2) the owner's "f*#k you" attitude when engaging in an activity that is both prohibited by park rules and at least questionable by standard climber ethics didn't seem too bright.

It wasn't stolen, it was abandoned.
After 24 hrs it's considered booty, doesn't matter who you are or what the project might be.

After 24 hours of leaving it unattended,

I'm assuming, if he's projecting it, that he's there daily?

The rope,whether you consider it stolen or not, is one issue; fixed ropes left at super popular climbing areas is another. Cigarette butts are another thing that I don't like to see where I climb. Did I mention unattended dogs?

Is there any evidence that there was a rope?
If so, is there any evidence it belonged to the guy claiming it as his?
How old was the rope if it existed?
Was if fully depreciated?
Will his home-owners or renters insurance cover it?
Who is responsible for the phrase "hang myself if I get enough rope"?
Did Ali actually use a rope? I mean when he rope-a-doped?
If I leave my car at the airport lot, is it therefore unattended and eligible for "legitimate theft"?
