| so i can put the pictures from the epic mountain climb yesterday on my computer, and i can't find my camera anywhere....... I'm looking for it everywhere, all through my stuff and then it hit me! I left it on the top of the mountain.... haha i put it down and got preoccupied with a golf club we found up there and totally forgot about it. Luckily it was just a point and shoot and not my SLR! 2nd camera i've lost in the mountains (other one fell 3000m off a cliff) |

| Oh no! At least you can climb the mountain and hopefully it'll still be there...and you got distracted by a golf club? I'll never understand men! ;-) |

| Ow! I left my camera at work and had to drive back so I had it for the weekend. I don't feel so bad about my own goof anymore. Thanks! |

| And the next guy up the mountain will see your camera, put down his own golf club, and the cycle will continue... on and on... |

| I left a set of 8 x 25 Leica binocs on a Mt. top last year and actually climbed back up a week later but they were gone. Not at the local ranger station either. $600 gone! |

| Is there a base camp, or something where you could post a notice for someone to be on the look out for it and get it back for you? |

Oh, you mean a "golf club" with 18 holes, carts, and a clubhouse? That's a big mountain top. You need to contact your climbing buddies and see if anyone plans to go up there in the next few days or week, unless it's a place that gets climbed a lot.
I put a bag down with a couple of lenses in it, a 35 f2 Nikkor and 15 2.8 fisheye Sigma, on a hike down the wall into the Rio Grande Canyon, near Taos, and luckily I was able to look at the photos in my camera to figure out where I had been. Now I shoot a photo of any bag or other item that I set down while hiking and it helps me remember to pick up all the gear before I move on.

Do you have any sites that are based around mountaineering/summiting for your region that you regular? I have seen numerous items found and returned to their rightful owners as a result of such posts, on a variety of sites here in Colorado. Worth a try, anyway...
If not that, then, what's the harm in a second summit :)

Really sorry to hear about this. Mountains and me have allot in common...We both like Cameras and the Mountains have taken more than it's fair share. My camera is currently in for repairs after my recent hike.
Last time I lost one however I could put forth some mittigating circumstances. Had to run out and arrange helicopter for rescueing guy in trouble and between all the action, by the time the helicopter came I was looking for my camera and it was gone. I missed the most amazing shots with the Airforce helicopter coming into the gorge in the mountains and still wonder if Im not more mad at missing the opportunity than my camera being gone.
Hope you get your camara back. You should be very good at searching for it if you are anything as good as me looking for the lost golf balls after going at them with the driver. :) |

My friends always joke about me being a forgetful-blonde. Thanks for the post, I now have something to show them that I'm really not all that 'forgetful.'
