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
MitchellSully tells us more.
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.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Return the new equipment you bought?

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

as someone who frequently looses things I'm just wondering why you never checked at the gym to see if it was there, even if you thought it had been stolen I find it handy since some people are really good samaritans and turn stuff in to lost and found as soon as they see something

You're an idiot for not checking lost and found. Also if you have new unused gear you should be able to return it for a refund.

YDI for being irresponsible. Next time, try calling the place to see if it's there!

And you didn't look in the lost and found in the first place, why?
