I've talked to goodguy and now that he has responded I will confess. It's mine, trad noob right here. Many thanks to goodguy and his friend who actually got it out.
For the record we only did the first pitch of Bedtime (I get the second pitch once I learn more). The leader is fairly new yet competent with placements however we're working on the lead head.

Is that why you left your cam in the crack? Cause it was placed really really good...

I can see how that 2nd pitch would freak out a new lead climber. Kudos for getting on it.

We left it b/c it walked. I saw it being placed and it wasn't fully cammed. When I was seconding the pitch and go there it was.

The tick to cleaning stuck cams is build a mini anchor above it and hook in then go at it with 2 nut tools.

Sorry to derail this, but Ynot, is that quote from Richard Hatch of Survivor?

Or use a 45 foot ladder and a hammer drill. Not that that's ok or anything...
