I was belaying my partner when he took a serious lead fall and had to be lowered off from the base of outer space/top of XM today. Because of the nature of his injuries, we left all of the gear up to the last piece on the pitch (below the ring pin at the base of the Outer space dihedral), and got him to medical treatment. If anyone comes across this or has cleaned it, please pm me. I would like to get his gear back to him. 

Thanks,

Danny

I witnessed the aftermath of your friends fall. I really hope he is ok. Scary stuff.

Bump on this, hope somebody can get your partner’s gear back! Saw/heard the fall and it looked serious. Wishing him a speedy recovery!!

Injuries suck.

I’ll be slightly shocked and extremely disappointed if the gear doesn’t find it’s way back to your partner.

Cheers, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hope your friend has a fast recovery. Mind sharing how it happened? Anything out of the ordinary? gear ripped, etc
