Lost GoPro - Tom Thumb, Blue Mountains 2-May-2012 At 6:34:59 PM richardpattison

Hello,

Just wondered if anyone has found a GoPro head-cam on “Tom Thumb” under the Fortress in the Grose valley?

It came off my head at the top of the 5th pitch (where you crawl under a bush) on Sun 25 March. I returned last w/e (first available w/e since) but no luck finding it. We started from the top of the 5th pitch to follow the fall-line. We dropped a few pebbles off first, about half stopped on the ledge next to the 2nd abseil anchor, the rest all stopped on the next big ledge, just above the 3rd abseil anchor. I was wearing the head-band not the proper helmet mount, so reckon it would’ve got caught in trees/bushes on the way down.

I’m more upset about the SD card than the GoPro, it had footage from Bjelke’s Mind canyon the day before as well as Tom Thumb and it was recording when it slipped off my helmet.

Thanks, Rich.
