A couple of weeks ago I found a rack + crab in Black Shiver. If you are the unlucky owner of this gear:
a) The gear is now in Sweden, because I forgot about it until I found it in a bag when I unpacked.
b) It was found at the bottom of the Black Rift. On closer examination it shows some outward signs of having fallen a reasonably long way (i.e. fresh and fairly deep scratches, deformations to the aluminium etc.). Since this pitch is 80m, it would have been travelling at 40m/s on impact if it fell from the top (ignoring air resistance).
My suggestion is that I scrap the gear, but I don't want to do this without first posting. If you want it back, I can bring it to Britain on my next visit, but please bear in mind point (b) above. There were some coloured tape markings which you can identify the gear by.
