Another heads up to those of you climbing around Jasper.
Peter Amann recently posted that some fixed pitons have gone missing on the SW face of Morro pk. In addition to that, there are several bolt hangers that have been swiped at the Morro slabs practice cliffs. Some of these hangers had a coating of epoxy on them which had to be chipped away. If you notice any bolt hangers etc... missing in the Jasper area, or if you have seen any suspicious activity out there, it would be appreciated if you could pass the info along to the local climbing shop Gravity Gear. This way we can continue to pass along the info to everyone else. It may be worth carrying a spare bolt hanger or two with nuts and washers if you plan to go up any of the more established multi pitch or sport routes until the hangers and pitons can all be replaced.

Thanks in advance for your help.
