We've been working on the new project on the main wall and left a draw on the third bolt to prevent rope drag. However some idiot must of thought we just forgot it there because it is missing now. Its really not a big deal, they are only $10. BUT its just the point, you leave draws that are hanging, its just common knowledge. Plus its not like you sent the project so WTF. That would be like going to summersville and thinking you've hit the goldmine of free quickdraws on the collesium wall. Just dumb.

Sometimes It is not obvious. If It is only one draw, it can seem like it was used to bail off of. And we all know the law of booty.

A single draw left on a route is regarded by a lot of people as a bail piece....that's just common knowledge.

Maybe putting a draw for that purpose on a really tightened quicklink or something would be a clearer message/more difficult to remove. If you are looking for your draw to stay in situ, anyway. It would make them bring up a wrench, anyway.

I agree with crazy here, cleaning someone's gear on rap and taking it is kinda b.s. If they climb the route and take it along the way thinking it is booty, thats one thing but I feel the route needs to be send to claim booty.

Trust me, I don't climb that hard and I didn't rap the route, I'm just that motivated. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you are wrong.

In reply to: That would be like going to summersville and thinking you've hit the goldmine of free quickdraws on the collesium wall. Just dumb. Yes, if Summersville were a 30' vertical pebble in Southwest PA with 10 or so 3-bolt climbs spattered across the face...but then it PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE PROJECT DRAWS ON IT

yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with most everyone else. One draw=bail/booty. most projects I have worked were on lead, thus a line of draws=project.

Your piece was definitely bootied, and rightfully so. It is SO easy to get to the top and rappel that you could replace draws if you really wanted to pinkpoint your project. What route were you on? PLEASE say it was Diesel.

If they climb the route and take it along the way thinking it is booty, thats one thing but I feel the route needs to be send to claim booty. Why is that?!? I would clean gear on rap if it so pleased me- why do you need to send a route to claim booty? Is that in the bible, or is it an immutable law of existence, or maybe embedded in the Constitution? It's certainly in better style to climb the route to retrieve booty, but come on, your words sound like the sad plea of someone losing the booty count. YAR! YE GEAR BE PLUNDERED! TIS THE CODE! p.s. even a ruthless pirate wouldn't booty a line of fixed draws, but I'd have to guess your single draw actually was a bail draw- since you said it's a project, I'll bet that draw was as high as you got. pps whoever took your draw certainly didnt mean to offend, and when you SEE someone with your draw at your crag, you can ASK for it back and im sure you'll get it. Calling people DUMB isn't gonna help.

I've solo'd up to booty gear in the gunks, then downclimbed back to my pack several times... did I break the booty law by not finishing the route?
