Lost Cam on Something Wicked (Avalanche Lake, Adirondacks)

I was climbing in the Avalanche Lake region and left a #3 cam with a blue biner ~30 feet up on P1 of Something Wicked (West side of Avalanche Lake). If you find it and want to return it to its original (and neglectful) owner, please send me a message! If you decide to keep it, that's probably fair, too.

Happy hunting!

Just read the "official rules" and should clarify that the cam loss was 100% due to inexperience and not a rescue or any other heroic act. If you find it, it's definitely booty, but I'll still miss it.

From the belay stance of P1 on Something Wicked, I could see that there was some other gear left behind amongst the big boulders above the cave to the left. It was too far to make out the exact gear, but at minimum there are two pieces of pro and a carabiner.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
