It was hot yesterday....over 100 degrees...and we were loopy;.....we left about 10 cams on a ledge on Oak Creek Spire in Sedona. If you find this gear and could find a place in your heart to return it to it's owner (Tucker Tech).....we would be over-welmed with gratitude...and send you a $100 reward. The climb was excellent, the hike over scary hot, and leaving gear on a ledge;....oopsy.......thanks for your help.....we goofed;...but it comes with the "business" of climbing sometimes...Bumbed out....not really;...irritated;yes.....happy to climb desert towers (most important of all);..you bet......if found, contact me at Todd Gordon (760) 366-9395 Joshua tree, Ca.

Having forgotten gear myself I feel your pain. I hope you get it back, that's a pretty big loss.

"Idiot checks" are worth doing-more so as I get older...
So you're saying Tucker had to drink those 60 himself?
Good luck(maybe they're still there)

I had to leave a brand new rope and most of my rack in place on Tahquitz for a week one time after bailing to do a rescue (on myself). Came back the next weekend and everything was right where I left.
Jus' bumpin.

Come on people - return the gear.
Twice I have found full racks. Found the owner both times. Never dreamed of keeping the gear.

Hope the person who sees the gear is a forum reader, Todd. Have you contacted any climbing boards local to the area?
If the gear doesn't return, my friend just gave me two Kong cams, I would say similar to red and green Camalot size if remembering right. I'd be happy to pass those along. And I also won two Wired Bliss cams at Facelift year before last, which I can send. I think those are about size of purple Camalot and red Alien.

Dude, it was only three days! Of course Tucker drank all 60!
Sorry for your loss. I'd return it if I found it!
Keeping gear with known ownership is not booty, it's stealing!

I was thinking 3 days X 60 beers was under-beered for TT. Maybe that was the problem.
Seriously, hope you guys get it back.

Bump - So no news? Not good news.....
Let us know where we can send all our mank to get Tucker back on gear. It seems rude to make him free solo everything just because he hasn't got a rack....
