Hi, was climbing today at Camels Hump and someone left behind some gear. If it was you or you know who it was let me know.

Was Niall's rope in with it? :-P

Oops, a bunch of us were up there yesterday and had stuff everywhere.
(As well as potentially ticking the first pram access to the base of Poxbow!)

Can you confirm the gear was found down at the lower tiers? We were on Poxbow, State of Shock and Silent Assassin.
I thought we picked everything up .. it might take me a couple of days to unpack and check the rack.

Two of the others are regularly on Chockstone too.

nope we claimed the FPA back in '06. It needs some chipping to drop the grade a bit though IMO

Hi Nick, I too was part of the GFDonc crew on the lower section of Camel's Hump.
Are you able to give us a cryptic clue ? (I'll check my gear)

If 'it' was found at the bottom of 'Assassin', it could well be Jeremy's dummy !! (not Mia's)

OK, not us then.

By the way, the nut on one of the hangers at the rapstation at the top of Poxbow needs a tighten. Did the best I could with my fingers ...

While I'm at it, the belay station at the top of Silent Assassin isn't exactly state of the art.
Rusty shackle connecting 2 bits of small-gauge galv chain held down by nuts and washers. There's a poor wire placement to the right if you're feeling mortal.
