My partner and I bailed from the Red Dihedral on Sunday, 7/20 in a bad hail/lightning storm. The forecast was for scattered thunder storms in the afternoon on the tail end of a storm, so a pre-dawn start was taken to ensure we were off before the afternoon. We bailed from pitch 7 in a crazy storm at 10:30 am. We wanted to get off the route fast and had to leave a lot of gear. Gear was left every doubled rope length where needed to bail. Would sure love to get this back.

Left gear (I think) was: yellow/orange metolius offset, green c4, 3 red c4, 1 blue c4, 1 yellow c4, several orange biners, several slings. Please spread the word that if someone comes across a ton of newish gear that is very clearly from a storm bail to point them in my direction!

$$$/beer/vibes/karma will be sent (to your door!) for return for our gear. We are happy to be off safe, and would love to get some of this back.

Thanks,
Kipp

if you're gonna head up an alpine climb with the terrible thunderstorm forecast that we had, at least bring some bail gear with you (i.e. large stoppers for example)...



good luck getting your gear back
