LOST gear on Arm and Hammer, Bells Canyon

While up in Bells yesterday a #1 Camalot with a sling was lost while climbing Arm and Hammer. It is most likely on pitch 5 of Arm and Hammer (the pitch right after the Zion Curtain pitch).

We were climbing Arm and Hammer in a group of three and rappelling down Butcher Knife to replace all the old bolts. We had a lot of gear (drills, bolts, chain, crow bars, etc) so we didn't notice the missing cam until the ground.

If you find the cam and sling and you're feeling kind, please text or call 801-694-3285.

Also, go climb Butcher Knife if you're up there!

Thanks!

I won't be up there but would like to say thanks for replacing the old bolts. Butcher Knife is a great route-I climbed it years ago and there were scary 1/4'' time bombs then-can't imagine what shape they were in by now.

Yeah they didn't look too good. Thanks to the ASCA, Brian Smoot, and Les Ellison there are now 1/2" stainless steel bolts.

Edit: ASCA donated the bolts, my mistake.
