Haven't had to leave too much stuff:

An ex-mate's cam on Cassandra DF at The Arapillies after using it to help me clean a stuck nut.

A bail sling on some horrendous choss pile thing underneath Advanced Air Studio at Bald Head (we were trying to find Beche de Merl - did Serendipitous Cracks instead, which was awesome!).

A bail sling on some accidental variant to Proteus (never did find it) at Pierce's Pass. Come to think of it, these last two were with the same guy (Andrew Duckworth) - maybe we were jinxed??

A nut on the final belay ledge on Nutcracker in Yosemite (apparently it's a known gear eater if you're not careful - ultra worn, fine grained tapering granite crack - looks bomber and is!).

#5 camalot that a beginner mate dropped off Dragon's Tooth at Mt York. We didn't technically leave this one behind, but I did retire it immediately (cue ODH to be a d1ck about aluminium not cracking when dropped).

Pretty good for ~20 years of climbing I reckon!
