Well, don't be so quick, mpech. Is it a toprope-only belay card with name Rookie written on it? Mine, since my partner and I were the only party on Eichorn the day before!
ByranOC, I sent you a PM. Regardless the outcome, I commend you for making the effort to return found gear as many people would just claim booty quietly.
Huh. We were on Eichorn too (maybe 1:30ish) but didn't see any booty unless it was the ancient cam at the beginning of the second pitch, in which case you've earned it.
Incidentally, I found some shinny gear on Cathedral yesterday. Will happily return it if someone PMs me with details.
the ancient cam at the beginning of the second pitch
I don't remember any fixed cam on the West Pillar Direct variation of Pitch 2, so is this after the traverse to the right?
If anything, now I remember clipping a rigid-stem piece with a red sling in the middle of Pitch #5 below the 5.9 OW. I didn't look if it was fixed and my partner probably did not even try to remove it since she knew that didn't belong to us. Could that be the FOUND gear?
Oh, sorry, we did the easy 2-pitch route from the Cathedral saddle (north face?), not the harder ones from the bottom. There was an old, metal-shaft cam maybe 40' from the top. It looked like it had been there for a long time.
Okay, I believe you and I are talking about the same piece. I thought the red sling did not look very weathered (faded), but I didn't bother to examine it closely.

I might be missing something! I'll have to double check when I get home tonight.
