Today, I bought $300 worth of climbing equipment because I had lost mine six months ago, I hadn't gone to the climbing gym since I'd lost it. I went today because I was so excited to go climbing again. However, it turns out that I'd left my gear there, and it had been in the Lost and Found for the past six months. FML

You can't return allot of climbing equipment, it's against safety regulations because the gear is so fine tuned to make sure that it can hold even 8000lbs. The only gear that I had bought that I could return was the shoes and the chalk bag, but I still couldn't do that because I filled the bag with chalk and wore the shoes already. I didn't find my gear until I was done climbing for the night.

Carry oxygen next time you climb. You can't afford to lose the braincells.

I'm sorry but your a ******* dumbass, that's not gym gear that simple climbing gear that every climber needs, and second off a full rack of trad gear can cost up to $4000. Harness, shoes, chalk bag, ATC and carabiners aren't gym gear, they're needed even if you are climbing natural pro.

the good news is that you now have a great set of back up gear! a pair of nice new shoes for when your old ones start to wear thin, and an extra harness/chalkbag/atc so conscript a non climber friend and get some climbing in!

meh not a big deal, just use the new shoes when you wear through the old one. can never have too many biners suck up the loss on your second chalkbag/atc/harness. teach a friend to climb and pawn them off to him.
