Hey there, loaned my #3 cam to a buddy to climb Scorpion at Arapiles, he took a factor 1.8 fall (a FLIPPER!), & had to bail, leaving my cam behind (with a petzl ange draw), if I could get the gear back it would be nice.
Oh, and BTW, if you consider the cam and draw bootie, I'd check out the cam really carefully, cause it took a mighty hard fall (yes about 3m below the belayer).

Nothing hurt other than pride, I hope.
Was that Sunday evening? There was a bit of activity around there when I walked below.

We watched it from below as we could hear the pre whipper yelping. Was kinda speccy, particularly the turning upside down bit!

I took a big fall after the crux on oceaniod on Saturday and ended up side down too. Scared me shitloads. Ended up spending most of Sunday to retrieve my now favorite gear.
Hope your buddy is ok.

If it ain't booty why do you want it back?

Well if the cam is good, then I want it back. Seems to make sense, it's a new cam, first fall even done on it.
And yes, Simon is fine, a couple of scrapes around the knees, a bit shaken. He will be back to do Scorpion in the future.
