This past weekend we tried to do a car to car push for the west ridge of Forbidden in a day. While we were successful, it was a very long day and involved getting our rope stuck on the first of two double rope raps down the couloir. Because of a combination of snow conditions and the lateness of the day, we made the decision to cut the rope (we had the knot) and use the full rope to do a single rope rap down past the sketchy bergschrund. Unfortunately that means that there are current two almost perfectly good ropes up there. If anyone pulls them down and feels like returning them, I would be much obliged. Otherwise, I guess there is a fixed line up the couloir for the time being. Please contact me at emily_6008@yahoo.com if you can get our gear back for us. Many beers will be given in thanks. Thanks so much!
