sounds like hard core newbies left those pads, so hooked that they come back 7 days a week.
this means their buffed, so watch out!
maybe the owners took a fall, roped together like idiots, and their bodies are somewhere near.
look around, you might score a rolex or a wallet.
turkey vultures will give you a clue.
man it's a gonna be a Hot one.
anybody headin up the hill?

If I find a bouldering pad stashed on public lands, it's booty. If I find a trailer stashed there, I'll report it to the land managers. (Same goes for apparent hunter camps, outfitter/guide caches.)
It ain't all about you, and your use of these lands.

jox has clearly never bouldered harder than v4.
who are you to judge the validity of another person's dreams and aspirations?
go play with your doll house and leave other people's sh#t alone.

jox, you clearly have no idea how to bend space-time with your finger tips and will never understand bouldering.
if you find pads, leave them alone. and if I find your tin shed, I will resist the urge to redecorate.
why do you insist on f*#king with people's sh#t? "Because it's there" doesn't apply to all things.

anointed one, I don't know if you are in the habit of stashing pads, but if you are, please stop it. These areas are for everyone's use, and finding yours or anybody's pads, trailer, hunter camp, equipment cache, whatever is a real drag.

Yeah, I expected a response like that, trying to broaden the argument into an unrelated area. Rationalizing your cache by the justification that there are 'gurneys and weather stations' in the backcountry is not the same thing, and pretty weak.
Take responsibility for your sh*t, and stop making our backcountry your personal garage.

Stashed a few pads? BFD! Just get em' out of there when you are done with your work. One does however take the risk of losing them to thieves (or rokjox). I've had pads chewed up by wood rats as well so, stasher beware.

If you leave your sh*t in the backcountry, it's booty. It ain't all about you.
'Thief'? Nah, I'd consider it a public service.

A few years ago I found a pad “stashed” below the Mammoth Crest. It was wrapped tightly around a tree, which was growing really close to an overhanging problem (Hey, at least they didn’t cut down the tree, right?).
At the time, it was November, and there was a few feet of snow on the ground. So it was safe to assume that this thing was a permanent fixture.
Leaving a pad, etc… out for a few days is one thing if you’re actively climbing in an area. But this was left behind so that everyone could be protected from the dangers of climbing outdoors. It looked like some thoughtful boulderer had donated his old pad for the good of the community. It had seen some weather, and was quickly becoming part of the tree.
So that day we skied out in a separate drainage, and by the time I returned to clean it up, it had snowed many feet and I couldn’t find it. Probably still out there! People who clean up that sh#t aren’t “thieves”.

Just posting a related article, not blaming anyone, but you can see what happens to a (perhaps forgotten)pad stash over time...
