My climbing partner dropped her favorite .4 cam about 5 weeks ago in the middle of a 500ft route that you rap into. I was at the base of the wall again today and searched for the cam. This is what I found… mouse?

Lots of critters like the salt. I've seen pack rats, pikas, marmots, & ringtails chewing on my stuff.

While there are wild gotez roaming about the Sandias, and they do have a certain affinity for sweat-encrusted cam slings, it wasn't me. I'm not quite Decadent enough to have a thing for edible nylons.

Proof positive that microfractures are real and should be feared.   Stay home and lock the doors.

Anna does your partner chew on pencils, too?

Reminds me of this ski pole left in the grand canyon on the way to the summit of Isis Temple. Its been there for 10+ years from what I've heard. Either a mouse or a chainsaw. Maybe both?

Mmmmm salt.
