Retrieved a stuck/"fixed" cam on the upper pitches of South Face on Petit on 6/28. Cam looked pretty new and still in good condition. Let me know what cam it is, where you lost it, and I'll get it back to you!

Is it the yellow totem from the crux pitch? If so its mine!

Probably not my purple totem that I had to leave when retreating midway up pitch 7 two years ago in a hail and thunder and lightening storm that blew in hours earlier than predicted (late morning)!

As I made it down safely after all of those raps in the storm, I considered it a sacrifice to the Climbing Gods that they considered worthy!

Good work on ya! My partner and I came upon it and each gave it a few token tugs, but gave up quickly because we have enough gear already and wanted to finish the climb. The guys behind us also gave it a bit of effort. It wiggled plenty, so it just needed a little more time and patience than any of us gave it :)

We heard about the stuck yellow totem but never got to see it. (we were on Southwest Corner instead of South Face that day). owner found for the stuck cam!
