I am usually very good at finding, extracting and keeping kit left on crags, however recently I feel I have been in losing too much, including a few wires and carrabiners. Although the carabiners where more deliberately left behind to hasten my retreat from sports climbs.
So today i was chuff to bits when I pull excalibur from Christmas Curry. It was a cross between difusing a bomb and cracking a safe. But given some attention I managed to free the cam 0.5. Glowing inside from my winning the battle I had a hop in my step.
That was until I went sport climbing this evening and when the last person lowered off we forgot to take out one quickdraw. I doubt it will be there when I get back, although it is on a F7c.
Easy come, easy go, as is the crag booty way!
