Theft at Area 44 on Sunday

Post by Khoi » Wed Jul 31, 2013 11:30 am

One of my coworkers was climbing with a friend at Area 44 on Sunday. She brought all 12 of her quickdraws, but they only needed to use 10 for the climbs they were doing, so she left 2 draws attached to a sling in her pack, which she left on the ground.

At the end of the day she went back to her pack to find that her 2 draws were gone. There was just the sling left in her pack!

She had stolen from her 2 Petzl Spirit Draws 17cm, the newer ones with the light gray dogbones.

We don't think she'll ever get them back, she has since replaced them, but I think it should be known that there was a thief at Area 44 this past Sunday.

Watch out for your belongings.

Lame. Would like to think that it wasn't a local, as they seem to be quite more respectful than that.
Would go so far as to say whoever took them wasn't even a climber, at least not a real climber.
Real climbers don't take from their own.
