Lost a whole pile of trad gear in Joshua Tree.

Well, I feel a little less alone in my bonehead-fiesta seeing that someone else lost most of their rack here this week.

I left about half of my gear at EITHER the base of double-cross OR at the Thin Wall - all the way back at the first week of the month. I know - how did I not think to post till now? Let's just say I'm not the most meticulous dude in the world.

Gear: an old set of mixed nuts, mostly non-anodized BD stoppers; an older Metolius power-cam (black), a camalot C4 #2, a camalot C4 #3, an obscure DMM cam (also #3 size), a tiny little blue cam (wild country maybe?), and a handful of CAMP wire-gate quickdraws. Also some other random draws, one greenish double-length sling with a locker on one side.

Please let me know if you were the guy or gal who showed up the next morning to this un-manned yard sale. It will greatly slow my climbing career if I never see this stuff again!

Thanks very much
Kai

OUCH!

Good luck with that. I left about 30% of my rack at the base of a climb few years back. We had rapped off another line and some miscommunication with my partner...anyway it never got picked up. Fortunately it was a kind of remote spot and I went back for it next day.

This is so good.

Of COURSE it was at the thin wall, or double cross.

It's like the lulz write themselves. Hope you get your gear back.
