Hi,

we found a Cam on pitch one of Nutcracker at Manure Pile Buttress this morning.
Looks like a leaver-piece for retreat because it was easy to remove.

We are happy to give it back to the owner (trade it for two beers at the Yosemite Mountain Bar ;). The owner should be able to answer the following three questions:
1. Brand/size of the cam?
2. Color of the biner?
3. Is there a marking? What kind?

We are here for some more days.

Cheers,

Jan & Jo

Maybe sport climbers left it for stick clipping?

Yes it could be.

The time I went there to do this climb I was terrified.

The potential for death fall was hyper extreme.

I ran away in fear.

There are safer places ......

A few strategic bolts here and there on trade routes will help eliminate the stuck cam problem.

It might even be a good thing on harder climbs like Butterballs....it would help elliviate the pump you get from placing gear.

I like to clip those two bolts on top of Butterballs first.

My kid (honestly) couldn't get out the yellow c3 I placed ... about a month ago. I figure it's long gone by now but it's worth a shot.

Let me know when you've placed them on Bachar -Yerian.
