Cam extracted from a climb at thompsons point, Nowra. If you can tell me what climb it was on, and are willing to own up to using dodgy ukranian cams I'm sure I can arrange for you to be reunited!

Yes..but I did "cheat" and use the nut tool! I think Skye loosened it for me!

Wow the only cam ever used at Thompsons Point! Was it in a bolted crack?

The cam was about a metre above a bolt...but i'm not judging! We actually used a couple of cams to protect the belay for the start of Orca (the first bolt is quite high, and I didn't fancy slipping and falling off the ledge with belayer in tow), and one on the slabby start for A Day at the Beach.

Yeah I agree.

There are a few OK trad routes there. The one near Hang On is pretty nice.
