In reply to Ian Parnell:
Hope it turns up, but there must be a story in how one of the best winter climbers in the world drops their sack down no. 3. I dropped a helmet down Red Burn once, so know it can be done, but then I'm a clutz and I presume Raphael isn't! Hope the loss of the rucksack was the only injury incurred.
