Gary_Yngve Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Ooh, are they prescription sunglasses? In a padded case? Might belong to one of my partners when we were up there back in mid-June... I'll email you his contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayB Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Those are probably part of the debris that I collected on the Turtle when the camp above us got blown to pieces during some high winds the night before. When I woke up I was relieved to see that the weather had cleared but a bit alarmed at seeing a sleeping bag sliding down the snowfield that looked like it might contain a person so, I climbed up to a about 10,500' from the base of the turtle to examine the contents of the bag - turned out to be about 60lbs of spindrift rather than a person inside. In addition to the glasses, there were two sleeping bags, two therma rests, the majority of a tent, waterbottles, cotton shorts and a fair amount of REI rental gear. I stashed most of the stuff under some rocks at what was left of the guys' campsite at about 10,800', but picked up some more odds and ends on the way down and left them at one of the rock buttresses. Thanfully the owners fared better than their equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
