Comments: chris Kalous, thanks for the thoughtful & humorous post, especially the dropped S on Indians Creek. Perhaps I am 51-49 on what to do with this post but I do like to put up good and reasonable refutations to those that challenge and yet I do write with a tone. Deleting this post is not just simply the flick of the "delete area" tab. MP will not allow any deletion after anyone else has put up a post to it of any sort. But perhaps this removal could be done through the Utah MP administration. ... more >>

Comments: JayJ, welcome to the 3 ring circus. Keep those posts coming I like 3rd party views on this Tea House chat room. I recently made this post on ST but it is applicable here too: For some, ST is an all day tea house in which each little voice can speak any insanity it wishes and thus satisfy that vocie's urge to be heard without much condemnation. And they can move on to another room in the tea house quite easily for other topics and other listeners. Well, I can put up with most ST and Mp user... more >>

Comments: Nelson, thanks for the inclusion of your history as to how our aspirations unfolded in this canyon of desertion. Evidence of past climbs here and there but never anyone else on the walls was the status quo.

Comments: Charles, i have never met Perin. he seems rather terse. We have no conspiracy agreement. Again, Mystery of Desert's post was disgusting. However feel free to write as you please for I see he is back. A consideration for your time invested, I am the editor of this[hart Draw] site and unless from powers out of my control i will choose if it gets deleted. I suspect Perin had a similar interpretation to Mystery's words as I did, but why bother justification with rephrasing the sickening det... more >>

Comments: Meeting the Redds Zach and I were driving out of Hart Draw to meet Sander Pounder. She did not want to drive the 4WD section alone. Arriving at our pre arranged spot on the Hart Draw 2-track was a Dodge Power Wagon hooked to a big horse trailer, 2 dogs, 3 saddled horses outside grazing, one man and two women. They exuded a very suspicious look at us as our nearness to them minimized with our passing. So we continued to the other side of the ditch by using an easy all ready establishe... more >>

Comments: Charles Vernon, Again, the adminsistrators words, Drive-by anonymous cowards have no place in this conversation. I take it drive-by means someone who has just open an account to shoot off their mouth anonymously. The particular picture that Mystery of Desert created(deleted yesterday) with his wording was an allusion to the (his envisioned) similarity of raping a woman as to how he felt about what we were doing to him by posting this climbing area. I do agree with Perin Blanchard t... more >>

Comments: We found some knot-jammed webbing with a back-off biner attached just below the the crux section of this line. The crack above this pinched out region had not been cleaned of debris and there were no anchors at the next few obvious stopping points for rapping. As P Gallagher has suggested, to use words from the horses mouth, we have [ “Re-1st Ascended”] this line and more. We climbed through the pinched region and established a belay station leaving fixed rap anchors. Should this back-... more >>

Comments: Mystery of the Desert, thanks for edit and double edit but could you get something that applies to the reason stated below? I am posting this because other people have done similar acts of good will to me by posting what they have worked on.

Comments: the application of the land dilemma story of the commons to Hart Draw by Hardin fails to meet all the criteria as specified by that author. Hardin builds his case on a pasture of fixed size. Surely Indian Creek is "overgrazed" but even a libertarian rancher knows that to prevent overgrazing either you reduce the herd or get more land. As climbers we have more land to lessen the overgrazing but somefolks want to keep us corralled.

Comments: I have passed up some of what might have been others highpoints--a webbing knot-jammed in a crack with a lowering carabiner. These were not at the end of my lead. These climbs at the mouth are not in the this guide. Okay, I am not absolutely certain but very certain there were no previous assents within the region on the lines that I have posted. The reason is continual impassable debris along these lines. We did a lot of cleaning and pendulum swings to loosen these hair-triggered sittin... more >>

Comments: Nelson Lunsford, We are not giving away the whole canyon only an area where we put up 100% of the climbs. If it's only a guidebook that brings 'em in, then your guidebook less portion of this area will remain your secret as there is no guidebook to bring 'em in. Bathe in your logic until you understand your rationale transposed in time. Get this clear: I am not giving your area away--you just have taken the size of it for more than you can maintain.

Comments: nooky brown, The first guidebook I wrote was Free Climbs of Devil Tower which included gear suggestions. My second guidebook was The Black Hills Needles: Selected Free Climbs and it did not include gear. For the case of Hart Draw I no longer remember the gear as some of the climbs were done over 15 years ago. I am not a German tabulator of all my life's details. For each climb we did at Hart Draw we decided what gear to take. If I were to give you all the details I woul... more >>

Comments: Hey Charles, one techno issue is quite a problem for fastidious people here but thanks for pointing this typo out. I am certain there are more errors but then again if it is too sloppy I may not see you at the area--you may be lost?

Comments: BJ Sbarra, keeping this off for awhile?? Until you die? It has been awhile after putting up these routes that we posted them. We are not posting anything of yours nor posting anything someone else did. Welcome to the internet. Who is in control? Cher? It seems you think the limiting factor for how others venture is by what they have been told and so by this reasoning you can expect them to use no more than the routes we post.
