Look, at the end of the day, its a nut which cost $6. Gas to drive all the way out there again? Prolly $50.I found the biner at WG when I was there last week with Miguel, so no great loss. I'm sure you see what i'm getting at.
It was wet, there were waterfalls-a -plenty, and at the end of the day, I could climb Speigels with my eyes shut, but in the rain, I didn't think it was worth the risk. We also had 2 people with us that were relatively new to outdoor climbing, and I didn't feel that it would be responsible or fair to lead them up a slippery wet slab just for the sake of getting a climb in.

If someone returns it, good karma for them.

Now I have an excuse to buy some shiny DMM offsets ;)
