Found some gear on "Dominion". Looks like someone rapped off it. Describe it and I'll mail it back to you. The gear, not the route. That would be tough to get in a box, the route not the gear.

Zack and/or Mike's???

Wow Mike, you're like the lost and found of Tahoe.
First shoes at the Leap, now gear at Sugar Loaf.

Perhaps your pack should have a "Lost and Found" label.

Good on ya' for helping people out the way you do.

Yeah. That really is nice of you to offer. A fine example for the sport.

Yeah, thanks, but love to get these folks back their gear.

Jay, how's things? Give a shout when you can get out.

Have you not heard that famous Hemmingway quote. "Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are all sports. The rest are games."

Some blood must be on the line.

Mike is the consummate gear returner. Once I told him about a large cam someone had lost on a route at Phatom Spires that I did have time to fight with - he dug it out after much effort and then posted liberally looking for its owner. The owner eventually was found, but refused the return (if I remember). He also seems to happen across gear constantly and have a unique ability to finagle it out. Once came across a cam at the base of el cap - fought with it for a minute, declared it a lost cause only to have Mike wiggle it for a few minutes and turn around with it in his hands grinning. Doh!

Hey Mike,
I'm stuck up here in Oregon headed to Washington. Can't wait to get back to the area.

I will give you a call when I return.

Cheers!
