Just joking Ed.
And
"Another amazing Yosar rescue pulled off flawlessly, .... "
Not really. There were some technical problems ....

i didn't attack jesse, i challenged him. he's a public servant. i have every right to raise an issue like this.
we've had two long discussion threads groping in the dark about what really happened, and there has been no NPS statement either about the tasering or what's so bad about BASE jumping in yosemite.
tasering is an affront to the sacred ground of yosemite. it can be a humane device in extreme circumstances and should be reserved for that. i am angered to see law enforcement using it as a tool of intimidation. a good officer knows how to engage people. a good administrator might figure out a better way of dealing with the local interest in BASE.
and if camp 6 has become such a damn pigsty, why isn't it a major project for facelift? i frankly don't think it should be the rangers' job to be doing that for climbers. cleaning up after ourselves used to be part of our ethic.
whoops--i owe jesse a word of apology here--i didn't realize he had posted on one of the mcneely threads--he did so yesterday and i missed it and wouldn't have raised the issue here if i had known that. his response there was entirely appropriate to the situation and it's appreciated.
jesse said it isn't appropriate for him to be involved in this case at this time, and that's understood. however it appears that the link to official documents isn't working well, and i would ask that the NPS consider making a statement about what happened. as i stated previously in that same thread, official press releases are common in unusual cases and this would appear to warrant it.

Great work on the rescue and the Nose wipe. Props to Keith and Jack for the job they do saving climbers asses while risking their own lives. YOSAR RULES!!!
As for the rude BASE people posting on this thread... you have a couple of threads already on your concerns with the Ammon situation and jumping in general... make some friends instead of enemies and don't muck up threads you are not involved in.

Many thanks.
In other places, park rangers do not participate in rescues. Glad to see that is supported and not taken for granted.
Cleaning up after ourselves and others is essential to keeping public lands open for climbing. My fantasies about climbing the Nose never reflected the realities that you describe. There aren't as many excuses we can use here about being in the death zone, etc.I'd like to see more public recognition of the selfless folks that haul out others trash.

Thanks for a great job, guys! I haven't needed you yet, and hope I never do, but it's comforting to know you're there.
Cheers,

Thank you guys for doing the cleanup. I was there on 4th July week and it was truly sad. Used a portaledge above it to avoid the smell and it partially worked.

I just had a vision of you guys dropping that sh-t hook.
Man! If I were at the base and that thing skewered into the ground next to me at 200 mph I think I would consider golf as my pastime of choice.
Happy to see you have that dagger tied in!
