In case the booty crew has some time to travel. There is a blue tcu on "the third pitch of epinephrine" in red rocks. It is actually on a "variation" to the third pitch. Leave the chimney at the earliest possible point and head out right on the face to a thin vertical seam that is followed to the regular end of the third pitch belay. You will encounter the tcu perfectly placed in the seam as well as runout climbing that is quite a bit more difficult than the guidebook 5.6-5.8 range for the appropriate third pitch.
My second thought it was just a ratty looking cam that someone had left and so he did not clean it? A cam....even if it was booty...who doesn't want a cam....not even for aid climbing?
Also note that this is the old, awesome version of the tcu's that had a more narrow profile (arguable more unstable). Fits into even smaller pin scars. Was a very sad day as I have had this piece for about 10 years and only had to replace the sling. Thankfully, for the rest of the climb you really don't need anything smaller than the 0.5 camalot.
Will reward anyone who wants to send this piece to me.

While you are there you can burrow left into the chimney and there is any number of cams buried so deeply that it would take a small child to remove them.
For years the chimney pitch on the NE Buttress of Higher in the Valley was a graveyard of small dead cams. No obvious reason why.. I guess chimneys make people nervous..
