Seneca injury and bailed gear

So, I want to start off by saying that I don't really expect to get any of my gear back, but it would be an awesome way to end a shitty ordeal.

I was climbing accidentally off-route near Orangeaid (closer to the last pitch of Castor) at Seneca on 4/8/13 and fell on a runout after my fifth placement. From what I've pieced together, I pulled out the top two placements (a nut and a .75 cam) and cross-loaded the biner on my third placement (an offset nut), resulting in at least a 40 ft whipper that put me 15 ft below the belay. I nocked my head on the catch and was unconscious for roughly a minute thanks to my plastic helmet. Once I came to, I climbed up to the belay only to realize that something in my wrist was broken (articular radial fracture). My belay was adamant about bailing the gear I'd left up, so we proceeded to rap down and hike out with my bleeding head, swollen wrist, and my limp.

I got pretty lucky in some regards. I probably have five minutes that I can't remember and another ten minutes when I was pretty loopy. But, I would be even luckier if someone was willing to return my gear. It was three pieces of gear with the accompanying slings/biners (I can also tell the specific pieces and gear tape). And for your trouble, a number 1 C4 is yours free of guilt (or another C4 if that one sketches you out)! A pm would be much appreciated. Thank you!

And for those curious what happens to a cross-loaded biner and accompanying sling (at least in my case)

Or the shortcomings of plastic helmets (still saved my life though)

Wow! Congrats on not being dead! Get well soon!

I appreciate the sentiment! I still have a week left in the cast, but'll be back climbing soon enough. I also had to trim 40ft off my rope due to a core shot after that fall, but I wanted to buy a new rope anyway. And I'm still planning on a big wall Yosemite trip in July, so it hasn't gotten in the way of things too much.

Hey, I'd suggest calling the Gendarme. As I understand, people occasionally turn in bailed/lost gear there. It's worth a shot. 304-567-2600

Glad you're all right!

Thanks for the tip. No luck on the gear though. Apparently they would've helped salvage it if I'd called a month ago though...
