My follower lobbed a red camalot of mine pretty deep, from what he said, into an early section of the second pitch. I didn't see it so I don't know if it's too deep for retrieval or not, though I imagine any shot at getting it would require 2 nut tools or lots of TNT.

If anyone removes the said piece, he or she would be rewarded with a big smile and a case of some good beer (or something comparable if beer is not to his or her liking).

What happened to Oak Creek Spire?

Being that I was climbing with my new-to-multi-pitch-trad partner, I figured the Mace might be a better option because of the simple approach. I definitely want to go do Oak Creek Spire soon though.

I think it'd be worth a trip back to check -- especially if it was a new-to-trad-partner. I can't count how many cams I've cleaned in < 1 minute, that the seconds or party above couldn't clean in 10 minutes -- and therefore, left. Certain folks just don't have the know-how or knack.

Go get 'er!!!

I think he's saying his second actually dropped the cam? I climbed it once with a friend dragging along a stick clip so he could fish a cam or sunglasses or something out of a crack on the crux pitch. We got some other stuff, including at least one belay device.

Here's what you need, it'll get your cam back and improve your financial situation.

Yeah I should go get it, assuming it's still there. I might go do Earth Angel tomorrow. Hopefully my partner is willing to run up to The Mace with me afterwards.

From what my Mace partner told me, he walked it so far back that he couldn't reach the trigger. Lobbed is a bit misleading.

Christian - that is perfect. You have one I can borrow? Maybe one that attracts ladies as well...

I didn't, but it looks I may be in northern AZ again over 4th of July weekend. Hopefully I can give it a go then...
