I'm just looking for some feedback on what you would do in this situation.
Your doing a multi-pitch classic and at the second belay you find an already set anchor with 3 nuts, girth hitched with 1" webbing, equalized with an 8mm rope threaded through a tunnel. There are 2 carabiners at the master point, one is a locker. The slings look like they've only been there a few days and 2 of the 3 nuts are easily removed.
What would you do? Take/remove the anchor as it seems it was placed to escape the climb? Or leave it as a fixed anchor point?
Chris

It's trash/booty. Remove it.

So c_kryll, did you find some good booty, or lose some favorite nuts? I'd probably booty it too, although if it still looked good I'd leave the 8mm loop for the next guy.

I kept em', but your right that I did leave the 8mm. Wasn't worth taking and too much a pain in the ass to remove.

It's booty to take. Then the next time you find yourself in trouble and you need to leave gear then you just leave the stuff you found without feeling too bad about it or trying to take extra risks to retrieve it.

I can't imagine someone building an anchor like that to bail on but if they did then is booty for sure.
If you have reason to belive it might belong to someone ahead of you on the route then give it back to them if you can. I have forgotten gear at a belay and had it returned to me a couple of times. Its good for your karma to return it. You to will forget something someday and if your going lite it could make or break your attempt.
