Hi
Sorry this is off topic but I'm kind of desperate. We are on holiday from the uk and my wife dropped my phone with all or photos and videos onto a ledge at the top of Nevada falls. It's easily reachable with a rope and not even a climb to be honest because you could probably walk to get it but I'm too old and a slip would see me over the edge. There is a large tree 10 ft or so above the ledge to rope onto directly above the phone. It's not on the side of the falls with the fence and I can send over a photo if anyone wants to get it.
If anyone is in the area I'll pay for your time and any postage etc. Please get in touch at markbebb90 at hotmail .com or on the forum.
Thanks
Mark

Would somebody in the neighborhood please just get the guy his camera. He asked nicely.
Bachar would have done it and waived the $10,000, but he was from SoCal initially as I recall.

Thanks for all the replies. We left for kings canyon just after posting the message. Internet connectivity is bad here and just got on line.
Ryan, thanks for your offer and thanks to the other guy who mailed me - I haven't got the mail though. Really appreciate you both offering.
For the guy who thinks I'm irresponsible asking on this site, I chose it because it's a climbers forum and I stopped 2 casual hikers from going for it as well as their other halfs telling them not to be idiots too. You can only do so much to stop knobs having a go.
Anyway, someone did get it, found a mate of mines number on the phone and got in touch with me yesterday. He sent it UPS to our next stop and I've sent him $100 USD for his trouble + postage. I hope he is a climber!
Great result and thanks to everyone. Well, all but one of you.

I was sorely tempted, but notice how I refrained from mentioning the dread thread that never ends?
