Of all the shit I lost while out climbing, I think the most precious was my virginity.

Statistically speaking, the amount of climbers (probably millions) that go climbing each day and the fact that only a few posts appear per day means that this is a very very low percentage.

Has MP added an option to filter out Lost and Found posts yet ? They should get on that ...

if you aren't losing your shit, you aren't pushing yourself hard enough.

I left a pair of gloves out bouldering a few weeks ago... They cost upwards of $8...

I guess at some point we are going to see posts about lost stashes now that it's legal.

If I had all the shit I lost over my climbing career I would have a full rack too. Seriously though- a lost and found section on MP would be great.

I like the taste of Milk of Magnesia personally. If you don't like it, don't drink it.

Answer? Booze and drugs at the cliffs = gear left all over the place and forgotten. Excuses come later as they plead to find it.

If you ever find a piece of gear I've had to leave, go ahead and have at it please. I guarantee I've fucked it up so bad you'll have to bloody yourself to get it and it will have been rendered useless anyway. I suppose I'm petty like that.

People like Locker are exactly the reason there is so much stuck gear. They generally just yank around and bash stuff when it's stuck without any thought or plan. In 13 years of climbing I've never lost a cam and I've recovered lots. First off most stuck cams aren't actually stuck. If each lobe by itself can move even a tiny fraction of a mm,, then its at most a 1 min job to remove that cam with a nut key. Some cams are just out of reach, carry a coat hanger or fish the trigger with nut wires. For cams that actually have a frozen lobe, first step is get the rock wet (best in sandstone), then free that lobe possibly with some force but usually with finesse. Do not just wail on the trigger! Don't just grab the cam and shake it around! Look at the rock and come up with a path to remove the cam, usually the way it went in, not always a straight path.

The only thing Locker has ever forgotten is the way back to the car.
