Found Booty?

[longlegsrule]

We went climbing today at Torrent but it got too cold...so we thought we'd go hiking at Half Moon rock since a couple of the guys had never been there before...a couple of the more experienced ones decided they would try that 'X' rated crack on the right side of it....when back on top the guy that climbed it said there was a cam stuck in the crack that looked like it had been there for a while.

Anybody know about this...he thought about pulling it but we all decided it was someone's specially placed gear that had probably saved a bunch of lives....

I dont know of anyone who leaves trad gear on a route, even a project. besides, its kinda cheating if you dont place the gear as you go, thats the whole idea with trad. If it were me, I'd take whatever gear I saw.

longlegsrule, back in your cage! Leave conversations of importance to people who are able to climb outdoors!

You might ask Barry Richardson about the gear you found, he was working on something in the area at the end of last winter.

You leave gear its gone. Don't mean to sound harsh,but you sure wouldn't leave your rack on the ground just so you wouldn't have to haul it back to the crag next weekend so why leave it hanging around on the wall.

Anytime I leave gear I assume it will be gone whenIget back. Except in one unbelieveable circumstance I have been lucky and went back to find my gear still in place later.

That my gear, please remove it and ship it to me. Thanks dirt.

I'm not sure I'd want to trust gear that I find. I'd have no idea where it's been or what's happened to it.

That's just me though!

if you find any, may I please have it?

I've currently got a Exentric #3 attached to my key ring. Found this up at the Arena last Spring.

Tri cams make great door stops, biners are great for securing things in the back of my truck, and non-climbers think cams are cool.

I can't see leaving gear someplace. I work too hard and it costs too much to just leave it someplace!

There is fixed gear(for anchors)and there is booty.It doesnt take a genious to tell the difference.Wish I knew who the jerk was that took the fixed gear anchors for Double Helix. Its now a nightmare.,running it out with horid rope drag across rotten rock to the next route.
