screws and draws on the third pitch and a rope stashed near the top of the
second pitch ( I did not see it). We did not have time to retrieve this
gear as we were responding to a second incident at the same time. If
anyone is climbing there in the next few days and you feel like returning
this gear to the owners, please drop it off at one of the warden offices
attention my name. The owners will be appreciative.
Thank you,
