On my first 2 multipitch trad climbs I got booty gear. Not bad eh? A #6 WC rock and a CAMP cleannose bentgate biner (notch on gate, pin in nose) on South Crack, a team ahead of us decided to bail after all the 5.8 and .7 had finished. Funny. Then on Muinginella I got a burly OP Locking D, rated at 35kN. So I got some leaver biners, first couple times on trad MP. Yay me! :P

How come one of my friends who is new to the booty game keeps getting all the booty, and I seem to never get any? I tried combing the local crags, I tried taditional style, I even got an eye patch. What gives?

Guess I was lucky, got a #5 Metolius cam on my first day climbing muli-pitch, not so much since then. I'm sure your turn will come.

I have only myself found one piece of booty. (or two really), and it was totally unexpected, as I was in an area not normally used for climbing (and live on an island where climbing is not all that common anyway), because of the crumbly rock and occasional landslips there. I climbed up to a ledge, and looking right suddenly realised that sitting on the ledge rapped around a boulder was a sling, and a wiregate crab which someone had ditched in an attempt to back off the route. So I took it thinking that it would only go to waste there anyway. So far I've used the crab for slinging nuts, and have kept the sling in reserve incase I ever need to sacrifice a sling to back off a route. Both looked in fairly good condition, but despite this, non of the local climbers I know and have talked to have ever abandoned a sling and crab in the location I am talking about.

Booty? I thought booty was supposed to be good? I guess it will be good for the next person to climb The Step at Tahquitz. They will find the nut, biner, and rap ring my partner had to leave on the second pitch right below the roof.
Hmm.. if I leave and you find, I gave you some booty. Shouldn't you atleast say thank you or send flowers.
