So you will prolly need some long needle nose pliers to grab the cables to release the cams. Get after it and Get er done guys. ;D Oh, its not mine or my climbing partner. Hmmm, damn... were you out there last weekend? Snupe and I were out there, and had we known about this we would have certainly headed over there. Not so much to booty and old #1, but more just to kutz your rope. Of course, you were on a 5.3, which I'm assuming means you could simply walk down it without even using hands, so kutzing the rope alone wont do much good. Perhaps a combination kutz the rope and hitz teh Donny in the hed with rok would work. No, that’s too much work. Double Donny, climbz the harder climbz so we can kutz yore rope, now! NOW! When you kutz my roop kan uz seperate the strandz two? So I can rap down the 5.3.  Actually we did the 5.9+ TR problem next to it too, Shardikawoopoopie. Knot reelly 5.9 f u axe mee. But bat wuz da time to kutz da roop, which wazn't mine cuz it wuz da guy eye wuz climbingz wit. Sew go head kutz da roop, Kutz it now, oh wait u r 2 late. We wuz dare thursday.

I was far ahead in the booty balance until my nuts dropped. I've been playing catch up ever since.

I prefer not to leave gear behind.
I bootied a biner from some people who know you while we were at the Red. They bailed off a route and I went up while they were still there. I told them Jay would not be happy with either of us if I gave it back. They pretended like they didn't want it back.
I ended up leaving it at the anchor of a different route to replace a badly worn biner.

Its a true story.
It was in a crack to the side of a route we did. I just swung into the crack, jammed my leg and liberated it.
I was all bummed because since I was sport climbing I didn't have a nut tool. But then I realized its a #5. That thing is so big you don't need a nut tool.
It came out really quick.

In reply to: I just got back from climbing with dbrayack and clausti. Danno plucked a nut, two biners and a 24" runner from Burning Calves at Beaty Mtn. There's another nut still there, but I don't think it's coming out anytime soon. Maybe early in the AM when the rock's still cold.
I'm going there with a FN hack saw and sawing the crap out.
Burning Calves is a proud line that doesn't deserve noobee litter.

Not at all.
I have no idea how to tell (apart from sun-fading and other obvious visual clues) how sound a piece of webbing or runner is. And I'd rather replace that stuff than think about the possible consequences every time I weight it. Yeah, I'm the guy with pretty shiny runners. I'm sure I could be saving some money that way, but the money part is not that high on my list of priorities when it comes to those things.
I climb so I can empty my head, not make it louder in there. And my head gets noisy about stuff like that.

I remember when my nutz dropped too.
Back on track, best was a Wired Bliss TCU at the base of the NW Face of 1/2 dome, must have been dropped, not a soul around for miles.

I few months back in the Wichitas I found a treasure-trove of booty: a #2 C4 Camalot and a #9 Metolius hex, each with a nice wire gate biner.
Looked like someone's rap station even though there was an easy walk/climb out just around the corner.

On one trip scored a sweet BD nut tool at the base of the crag, two BD nuts and a sweet orange tcu . The subsequent week, in a different area found an Ushba nut tool at the base and liberated a couple of DMM offsets from a route.

Ahh yes, The great booty search!
I think my latest and greatest was a 16cm BD express screw this winter at the base of a climb. looked like it was from at least last year. Soaked it in motor oil, resharpened it and zipped her in the next climb out!

I just thought it was note worthy as 4 people attempted to get it out with no luck. How ever as I was shot down on my last post I'd better say something about booty.
Found a nice newish nut tool with a sweet leash at the beginning of the year. just hidden enough to have to step on it to find it.

First bootay!
My first bootay evar! #4 and #6 BD nuts at the crux of a 5.8 - bail bootie apparently as they weren't even close to being stuck.
Guess that means I'm finally climbing better than somebody
Too bad it was small bootie, though. I like the big, healthy ones better 
Forever a n00b!

If it was bail booty, wouldn't they have biners on them?

Ahh, such a mystery! Unless they managed to pull their rope through the wire loop, I suspect it was an incompetent second rather than a bail piece. Hey don't knock the booty nuts, this is how you build an aid rack. I haven't bought a nut since I welded my #3 stopper into the crux of p2 of Feast of Fools in the Gunks. Biggest fall I ever took on a supposed "aid only" piece.
