WARNING -BEES all over Camelbak
|
Went climbing today at the head wall and gargoyle wall. Got severely attacked by the bees. I left behind my helmet, GoPro, back pack and rope on the second pitch. I'd you have found my gear please be awesome and return it :D I will buy you beer and fooD .. but over all, just be careful up there. Someone jumped last year as a result of the bee attack and died! |

Let it be
It would not be wise for anybody to go try to go retrieve those items in lieu of the bee problem obviously. Sorry about the GoPro, bro. |
|
That sucks. I'm glad to hear you made it down safely. Hopefully you get your gear back. |

AJ, |
|
I'm new to climbing outdoors (as of 4 months ago)... are the bee's always this bad around this time of year? Or is this just a rogue year? |
|
It's been abnormally warm since early February, that might have something to do with it. I'd say expect bees at any desert climbing area you go to. |
|
I've been a regular valley climber for the last 4 years and this is all sounds normal. The Hart Route has some of the most notorious bee scares in the valley, so while it's unfortunate that it happened, a bee attack on that route is far from unordinary. |
