EDIT 12/20/17: Mystery solved! Pics returned to their good home.

Did you lose an SD card out of your camera on the big ledge in the middle of Red Rock's Solar Slab back in 2013? Maybe over on the R side by Sundog? Well, I've got it. I found it in December of 2013, pocketed it, but then promptly lost it among my gear. I just recently sold my old truck from back then, and while cleaning out the glove box, I found it again!

And then there was a little technical hiccup while I tried to find someone with an SD card reader. But I eventually got 91 pics off the card.

If someone recognizes these people, and maybe can identify the photographer, please put them in touch with me. I can send a link to a Google drive where the rest of the pics reside. Thx.

I know most people in the photos... I think I have a pretty good idea whose the SD card belongs to. Will pass along this thread to the owner. Thank you for posting!

Yes, that's Clint(Yosemite?) in one photo and another of a bunch of climbers at the Pinnacles besides the obvious RR photo.

What's up with Pinnacles climbers leaving their camera cards behind?

Here is a story about a found CF card (at Pinnacles) told by a friend:

Many moons ago, Mr Mud and I were on the West Side working the Game Show routes. It was cool to learn out to work out the moves from the master sport climbing.

In the creek bed I found a CF Card, cool. At the time they were pricey and a free one was a score. Being a nice guy I was...I gave it to Mr Mud. and put it in his jacket pocket so he would not lose it.

Well, it turns out he went to see his sister that night after we got back climbing and left his jacket with her.

He got a call in the morning from his mom...who sounded distressed.

Mom: Is everything all right??, I mean everything?.
Mud: Yup
Mom: No really, there is nothing you need to tell us?
Mud: Nope (typical Mr Mud style of few words.)
Mom: Your sister found a camera card in your jacket and there were pictures...pictures of men.
Mud: Ah, we found that yesterday at the Pinnalces.

Later that day I get a call from him...."Did you put the CF flash card we found yesterday in my jacket?". Yup, so you wouldn't lose it. You lose everything.

And here was Mud's response to the story:

that is a funny story. My family thought I was gay and was trying to get me to have a coming out session for a while. That conversation with my sister went for a while before I figured out what she was talking about.
