My partner and I were rapping off the ledge at the top of pitch one when a sleeping bag in a stuff sack rolled off the ledge. I know it should have been clipped in and unfortunately it wasn't but let's not go there or at least save it for a new thread.
Description:
Big Agnes BellyAche Bag
Color Blue/Grey
Stuff Sack is MEC brand color black
Tag on foot box has my name on it.
Reward for return.
Thx

Two people lost their sleeping bag in the same week from Washington Column? Clip in loops are your friend.

Man, we have a tough audience today! The poor guy lost a sleeping bag and just wants some assistance in recovering it, if possible. Give him a break.
Yeah, I know all the commonly accepted booty rules. But I always try to help another climber out when I can. Never know when I might need the karma points.
Good luck, Topher. I hope you get your bag back!
Okay everbody....you can resume the normal slander and abuse!

Topher,
I assume you checked at the base of this cliff. In 1973, my partner dropped our day pack from the end of the Kor Roof pitch, and it fell all the way to the ground. While not as light as your bag, I would have expected your bag to take a similar trajectory.
And yes, I thought of all the snarky replies, too. The best of that type of reply I ever heard came from a Ranger several decades ago. When a couple of tourists asked him "Where is Half Dome?" His reply: "Oh, no! Don't tell me they took it again!"

Agree with John. I dropped something from the same wall and found in the forest/talus near Indian Cave.

I bootied a sleeping bag at the base on the way up in a storm one year.
Get to dinner ledge and my friends were there.
I pull the booty bag out to show off my prize...
Turns out they trundled it the night before, and my buddy had to ride out the winter storm with just a bivy sack.
I claimed booty till he got back in the soaked bivy sack for the night.

Never been up there, but does seem that it's just a myriad of huge boulders/ talus below, unlike Cathedral Rocks or El Cap (having a cliff base).
The odds of it landing on the approach route are pretty remote.
