Got off route and had to aid through the corner roof on the first pitch yesterday. There was a green sling with oval biners hanging from the piton. I told my partner to leave it as I decided it must have been left intentionally. Since I didn't like the tat it was hanging from, I backed it up with a sling hanging from a QD I clipped to the piton. My partner cleaned my sling but forgot the quick draw.
If anyone cleans my draw and wants to get it back to me, please send me a PM; I'd be happy to buy you a pint at Southern Sun the next time I'm up that way. If not, oh well, enjoy the booty.
on a side note, last time i was there that green sling looked fine. That piton however... dont pull out on it. It definately flexed down a bit when i hung on it.
Phil - the corner roof is directly above the point at which the climb goes over the arete toward the chicken heads. When I was at that lower point I couldn't discern the line so went up left then up right to the corner roof, clipped the sling and hand-traversed right, above the chicken heads. Oh well...
Marc - the green sling is just fine, but it's clipped to some weathered material hanging from the piton.
