Leave no gear behind!

This is a picture of brokenarmboy19 and me (dsnyde). I'm giving brokenarmboy19 a big thumb up as he desperately tries to retrieve a carabiner that was left on a 5.11b. Climbing the route was not an option due to a lack of skill and wet rock. We would have used a clip stick, but brokenarmboy19 broke it while trying to retrieve the quick draw. The whole process of retrieving the carabiner took one hour, and we laughed the whole time.
