Seneca Rocks booty on Thais Escape 4th of July

Took home some booty over the 4th of July and would be happy to return it or maybe buy it for my collection. PM me with a description of the gear and the markings.

You have a good heart, but seneca is the land of gumby booty. We took home two perfectly good cams along with racking 'biners that a party had place too deep on gunsight. Nothing that slipping a sling in the crack and over the trigger couldn't extract. Sometimes losing a piece or two is the price of poor placements and an inexperienced cleaner.

Thank you, and agreed, I've added lots of booty to my rack without much thought. In this case I think there's a reasonable chance that the owner wants/needs it more than I do. Very nice of the follower to leave the racking biners for you!

Speaking of follower fails, I saw a great one a few years ago out west that is entertaining and perhaps instructive. The guide had clearly instructed the client to remove the gear, clip it to their harness, then unclip it from the rope, so as to avoid dropping anything. Near the end of the 3rd or 4th pitch with several more to go, the client got this protocol mixed up and unclipped the draw from the rope, clipped it to the very full gear loop, stood up to clean the cam and had a foot pop with the gear still in the wall. Luckily the only injury was to the gear loop but I saw most of a rack go flying by and I'm pretty sure the guide finished the rest of the climb with that #2 and some nuts.

Crap, that sounds frightening. Could you imagine being below that shower of cams??
