A big Thank you for you hard work, season after season!

Speechless as to the effort involved by you and your crew.

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.

"We are now down 6 feet at least, and into historic trash from the '80s"

That's exciting; hey, if you happen to come across my old Flock of Seagulls cassette ...

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!

Hey Jesse,

Thanks a ton for the update. Amazing rescue that YOSAR pulled off flawlessly. Congratulations! As others have said, I haven't needed your rescue services to this point, (and hope I never do) but knowing your team is out their is comforting. Thanks also to the entire team for the camp VI clean up. Sound too gross to comprehend. You guys do an incredible job for the big stone. Thanks again.

Thanks. Cool photos. Look out of the park archeologists - they'll get after you for picking up historic trash. :)
