SHOW ME YOUR BOOTY!

Yarg tis a pirates life fer me. Here is my stash of booty, minus what is useable and sold on ye ole for sale forum. Anyone else have a pile of junk? SHOW ME YOUR BOOTY!

OP - consider selling some of those to me if they need repair like cleaning, trigger wires and the like. I can find good homes for them once I've worked them over; better than it all just collecting dust in your gear tub.

I'd whip on most of those pieces for sure

When I lived in New Paltz, bootying stuff off beginner climbs on Mondays and selling it at the annex was a legit side gig.

Yea a lot of them need this and that, most of them that i can get to work i do, but honestly most of them are manky and I wouldnt wanna sell something I don’t/wont trust myself. Its kinda a cadaver pile as i need to fix my own cams. Its kinda sentimental, its kinda a game, mostly i think i just wanna see nature when outside not other’s stuck trash.  

How is everyone finding so much booty? I've climbed at Index for 3 years, plenty of trad, and have never found a single piece.

Colorado.

Tent stakes. Almost every trip to COR.

I'm much more likely to be party to leaving bail biners, plus I tend to give stuff to people.

You're welcome. 

Best, H.

Drive over to Leavenworth and take a lap up R&D and Castle every Monday, especially if it rained Sunday afternoon.

Because index climbers don't bail and are able to clean after a lead.

Go to Yosemite. Park near The Captain. Put your helmet on. Walk back and fourth along the base. You will always find stuff. : - )

The beginner trad routes usually have something, frequently there will be a crack or feature that is just perfect for an over camed placement to be really difficult and/or the sun hits mid climb and changes crack size.  Sometimes climbing a large volume of easy terrain people simply unclip and forget stuff. All of my booty is east coast with probably 80% from North Carolina. There were a few yosemite pieces but those are gone, you could make a full time living out there walking the base of valley cliffs I bet.  I also have a set of tools that make removing stuck cams a breeze most of what you see was removed by brute force and thus lobes are frequently flat spotted and axles bent.

common ya’ll show me some booty!

What tools do you typically use?

You aren't finding any because I am getting to it before you. Can't beat the Highway 2 Booty Pirate, at least not without a thong like this.
