catbirdseat Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Is it me, or have an unusually large number of items been lost on climbs this year? Shoes, helmets, cameras, crampons, and ice tools seem to top the list. When I was a kid and I lost something, my Dad would always say something like, "it's a good think your head is screwed on tight, or you'd lose that too".

EWolfe Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Naaah, it wasn't you, it was the two close cycles of Mercury in retrograde this year. It messed with everyone. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizard_brain Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I found one jar of ground black pepper at Ingalls Pass and one very large Teva on my way down from there last weekend. Sorry, no Mythos though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I've found many spent party balloons in the mountains. I can't for the life of me figure out what climbers are using them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
