I was part of the second rope team through hyperspace this day and built a safe 3 piece above this foot ledge by placing 2 pieces above and one below the detached flake. This worked for me the previous time on the route but I took time to really make sure that all pro was clear of the flake before bringing anyone up. If the rockfall was caused by the third rope team, then I was giving your leader beta and I thought I commented on the dangerous flake, but perhaps I didn't stress that enough. Sorry. Im really glad no one was hurt! Sincerely, Jon Pobst

I lost two petzl axes on the NBC of Mnt Colchuck this March in an avalanche. They belong to a friend and we would love to reclaim them! Please contact me Jonathan Pobst at 509-885-2058 if you or someone has found these tools. Thanks! http://cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=96958&title=missing-gear&cat=500
