Oh its a given that beer will be involved if I get the gear back. I'm not angry about it, just in case whoever has it is scared to return. I'd just appreciate it back, and annoyed it was taken. Slate wiped cleaned. I hold no grudges :)

And I don't see where this 'fishy' business is coming from One Day Hero. Are you suggesting I'm lying about leaving the gear there? I find it quite rude that the only thing you say in here questions my honesty.

So to answer your question, chalk is still on the wall because it overhangs about 60 degrees. The gear was in/on a small ledge at the top, which itself it capped by a 4 meter 60 degree roof to the top of the cliff. Therefore, rain does not run directly onto the wall to wash the chalk off. The gear was used to in order to pull myself closer into the route.

Your skepticism about my 'story' is not required please.
