Bross

Post by cehenry24 »

I am thinking of doing the Democrat/Cameron/Lincoln/Bross combo this weekend and wondering about the status of Bross. Has anyone been on it recently? I know I need to be discrete about it, but has anyone had an issue when they went to the summit (if you have)? I've had mixed signals.

The summit of Bross is on Don't Ask/Don't Tell property.

As far as I know technically you are not allowed to go to the summit. However, I'm not saying that I have been to the summit but, I'm not saying that I haven't. You shouldn't but no one will stop you if you do.

You will either:

a. be shot on sight
b. fall through a hidden mine shaft
c. be endlessly shamed on this forum for daring to trespass
d. have a nice summit without consequence.





Answer: d.

(and maybe a little c for good measure.)

Bross is a fine mountain. Too bad nobody here climbs it because of the immense respect they have for private property. This is also why these same people who certainly don't climb it will absolutely hound anyone who even criticizes the Culebra policies.

Thank god for another Bross thread. I was going through withdrawal since the last one and here's hoping this one lasts at least until the snow falls.
