Used to be that abandoned gear was kept on the hush until you could get back and retrieve it with all the sharks out there hungry for a freebie. That was part of the fun. Now people go on the web and beg other climbers to retrieve it and then return it back. Hmmm, climbers have come along way......I guess

God KP, what are you stuck in the 80's? That is so old skool...
I just wanted my stuff back... is that too much to ask?

Most entertaining, folks. Proving that irony is not always easily conveyed electronically. Thanks to Ron Gomez for that Will Gadd gem early on: I can abide by those rules!

If getting off a sport route without leaving so much as a sling (if that) is being stuck in the '80's, then you're absolutely correct. I suspect however, that the a vast majority of climbers out there today still posses the ingenuity to bail themselves out of a predicament like this one. With gear in hand.

My only point is that there is no reason to leave your gear on a route if you want it back. At least make some effort to get it the next day...or the next. I think you both like to hear yourselves spray on the web thats all.

Seth is also a victim, a victim of threatened gear thievery, and it won't stop until the community lends a hand and helps him get his gear back. Give Seth back his gear, Supertopo!
Thanks for your support Jebus...
Fattrad: you're a dog man, a dog!!!! you better hope my rappel anchor is still there...
Fifteen feet?
Thats not even a leg breaker if the landing is good. Kid, you should have downclimbed it. Two three moves, a short hop and you'd been down.
I'm not you rokjox, I don't have a death wish fueled by alcohol!!!!

I went back and slept the next 14 hours or so, waking miserably at about 3 AM, wide awake and still in my filthy, stinking clothes.
Well, there is some similarity in our stories... I can still see those cams flexing under my weight... didn't quite get 14 hours but it's all the same

We told you the rules, and now you know,
Oh look, the gear nazis are here...
Quit quoting that thread, there is no research to back it up, you hack!!!!
edit:
This "GIVE ME MY GEAR YOU THIEF!" would earn you a punch in the mouth at the end of the word "thief". And you damn better believe you'd get it, I AIN'T from Californee.
Can I get rokjox banned for physically threatening me?

You call me serious names and accuse me of criminal actions (FELONIES given the cost of the shit) and you better have a HARD skin, because I am going to fillet you and eat you for dinner.
Yikes!!!!
