vandalism at Lone Peak

I feel that the point has been made. I'm taking down the links to their FBs.

See my above comment.

Is that from a marker or the end of a burnt stick?

I think it's magic marker. Definitley NOT burnt wood stick.

1119 facebook friends?!?

Is that summit only accessible via 5th class terrain?

Landon's FB profile --His partner in crime?

The summit is accessible via rock scrambling. Tons of people go up there eveyr year. I sent both of them personal messagaes through facebook. I'm planning on going up there again in 2 weeks. The graffiti'd better not be there by then!

they should be able to hike up there with some cleaning supplies considering they hiked it with 30 lb weight vests. EXTREME!!!!

WTF!!?
i'll make a FB account just for this.
Thanks for looking out for the rocks Shiho. You must be part Lorax.

Anyone know if you can be fined for that? That could be a good incentive to get them back up there.

If they're dumb enough to leave their full names I think someone should send this photo to whoever is in charge of management...fines should be in order.

LAME!!!! learn some respect for mother nature!!!

GO CLEAN IT UP!! NO EXCUSES!!!

I messaged both of them, and posted on my wall so hopefully more of my friends will message them. I don't expect it to really change anything - but I'd like the shitheads to know they are hated :)

I messaged them as well... totally unacceptable behavior.

i just can't figure out why they thought that was a good idea

Here is the contact info for the management district: fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsin…

and a picture of the two vandals on the top of the peak with another sharpied-up rock:

Seems like there is ample evidence to fine the 'climbers', I suggest a few politely worded emails to the forest service district office.

A respectful message has been sent to the alleged pair; this particular issue can be handled by our local climbing community, and does not--in my own opinion--need to involve the Pleasant Grove Ranger District. Don't get me wrong, this bums me out--I can safely say--more than any other human being on the planet with respect to the amount of time I've put in there, but I would prefer not to allow the internet to escalate a situation that can easily be dealt with privately, and diplomatically.
