I dont think it's wrong to ask for your draw back, I have been asked several times after retrieving gear, but know if you bail off a single piece that piece becomes public property in most conditions so no one is required to comply with your request.

Usually if I try and give a route a go and can't finish it and have to bail I try and think of any way I can get my stuff back. Walk around to the top and rapell down to retrieve it or set up a tr and get I back that way might be embarrassed about I but who cares I got my #3 cam back lol I def get sometimes that option isn't there and yeah if you leave it consider it gone but ya never know there's nice people out there. While setting up a tr anchor I dropped my atc and thought it was gone forever but someone climbed the route later and found it in a crack I gave them the option to keep I as I gave up looking I just wanted to climb more lol but they insisted I take it back I was one happy dude :)

lol you must not be aware how MP works. One person makes a post about XXXX, and then a couple days later someone else makes a satirical parody of the first post to either prove a point or make note of how insanely clever they are.

You can almost set your watch to it.

You guys do know that the idea of a cosmic point system (karma) is ridiculous right?

I thought it was "what happens on MP stays on MP"

"Theoretical Psychic..."

I hope you're thoroughly ashamed of your ignorance and disgrace.

Either that or it was a typo.

(PHYSICIST IS BASICALLY THE ANTITHESIS OF 'PSYCHIC'")

Now you understand.

So you're saying there isn't a man (or woman) up in the clouds tallying our climbing deeds?

Blasphemy.

I should add that aside from the "psychic" part, that quote is still 100% accurate and has not been modified in any way.

I'm pretty sure it is "psychic"... thank you very much. You are obviously just very ignorant about these sorts of things.
