classic climb, altered by inexperienced climber 11-Mar-2009 At 2:11:12 PM otmab

I was climbing in the Arapiles on the weekend, doing the second pitch of Yo-Yo, and noticed, right at the end of the pitch, what appeared to be a small Buddhist prayer flag, flapping in the wind. Closer inspection revealed it to be a red tri-cam. An inexperienced climber had wedged it into a pocket that was clearly far too small for the tri-cam - there's no removing that sucker now, and it may become a permanent feature of the climb. Judging by the perfect state of the cam and the dyneema, I suspect that it was a brand new cam, and had been placed about 10 minutes earlier by a bumbling leader. My sympathy to the once proud owner of the cam, and chastisement to the placer. I am sure they are not the same person.
