Lost .75, nut, two biners and sling on Outside Corner in BCC

Lost a .75, nut, sling and two biners on Outside corner yesterday, June 26. I went back today to retrieve the gear and it was gone. Cold beer and good karma in return for the cam. The nut, sling and biner were dropped from a distance... FWIW, I wouldn't use them. |

We are all way too busy free soloing Outside Corner and bolting cracks in LCC to go looking for lost gear. Haven't you seen the other thread on that subject? |
|
|
Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you use the nut, sling or 'biner? Just because they were dropped? |

Especially the sling (microfractured) |

All of them eventually if I get my way. |

How recent is this? I was just on satans corner a few weeks ago. No bolts besides the anchors that were of course already there. |

It happened last Friday. It's great. All you need now is 6 quick draws and two long slings. In this heat liquid chalk helps as well. |

I hope they come back and do the bottom section too, I've always found that crack to be insecure and I don't like letting go of the jams for more than a couple seconds, works fine to clip bolts but not so much to fiddle with gear. |

I'd like to climb a giant bolt with bolts bolted on it and avoid this rock nastiness |
