sobo Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Brand new #4 wired Friend, with Putzl QD and biners. Came out without a struggle at all. Was probably bailed off of, I guess. Tried to give it back via booty call on this board, but no takers after 2 months, so it's mine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â My most satisfying climbing gear recovery was a blown out cam deep in the handcrack on OuterSpace. If I ever get the trigger wires replaced the cam will be servicable, but it was quite an accomplishment to fish it out of the crack. It was at least 24" deep and I had to dangle two nuttools on long strings and somehow hooked it and pulled it out after inverting it. Â I've gotten a few pieces of gear deep in cracks with the fishing method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hmm there has been several good finds. Â Down in the Gunks after a long weekend and all the NYC lawyer went home the next day was the ultimate in booty days. One route I found 2 cams and 2 nuts everything with draws on it, also looked like it was the first time any of the stuff was used. Â I found two cam a 2 and 1 camelots and a hex that somebody used to rap off the top of Solar Slab. Â I found two cam and a nut on Prusik same story. Â My best find didn't have to do with quality or quantity. I was on Canon and my .75 camelot (one from the gunks) popped off my harness, within 50 feet I found the same sized rigid friend.

Dru Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 I heard the story later on from some dudes in Squamish who watched the pack fall. Apparently an Oregon based party put the pack down on a ledge on top of the rope. Didn't clip it in. Went to pulla bight of rope and knocked pack off. watched it tumble out of sight and assumed it was gone for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klenke Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 While climbing Mox Peaks last summer we scored: A) nut tool on Easy Mox B) gaitors, mitt gloves, and knit gloves on Hard Mox  Funny story: While leading a pitch on the NE Buttress of Goode I dropped a carabiner but heard no clinking noise. I couldn't find it on a ledge at my feet or anything. Bewildered, I took a step and soon discovered it had fallen into the top of a gaitor. What a catch!

As mattp would say: "Indeed."Â However, when Kirk Alm and I did that climb (July 5, 2001) there were freshiez on the route in places. The gaitors were helpful at times. So there.

AaronB Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Some dude dropped a pair of nice sunglasses from way up on the salathe wall... Landed right on my sleeping bag.
