Found: Lower Slesse NE Buttress: Extensive gear

Ken and I climbed Slesse over the weekend, and a few pitches above the toe of the Buttress, we found a whole string of gear that made us suspect that someone had been injured while climbing, and the rope was eventually pulled without cleaning a lot of gear. Corrosion suggests that the gear was there all summer, which also makes me think that few parties have climbed the NE buttress this summer from the toe.

 

Please contact me if you know whose gear this is.

 

I will be in Seattle for less than two weeks.

No, sorry, there were only about 5 cams, and 3 nuts. And everything was placed. There were not "sets", or a gear sling. It does sound like you left your whole rack, not abandoned an incomplete pitch. In your TR you say you lost 5 cams, but the others belonged to your partner I guess. Still, call me if you want to describe what you lost.
