Enchantments PSA - Stuck rope on Aasgard to clean

[Blake]

If anyone climbs Acid Baby in the immediate future, there's a rope free-hanging to the right from what would be the vicinity of the end of P3 (the rightward traverse). It's dangling down a chimney to the right of the climb and it does reach the ground just right of the start of the route. It is very obvious and very trashy looking from the trail up Aasgard Pass. I don't know the history, but figure in general anything climbers can do to clean up such messes quickly will result in less scrutiny and oversight from the rangers and less hatred from the general hiking public.

 

I'm guessing that you could lower or belay one climber a short distance from the belay after P3 to wherever the rope is tied off or stuck from, and then throw it down to the base. If you don't want to carry it out, at least pile it at the base rather than having it swinging around in the wind next to a trail. I'd happily carry it out if someone cuts it down and leaves it.

Mr. Herrington, is this stuck rope thing now a movement? What are it's demands?

I saw it last year, and I assumed it was from the accident on A-baby. It may b hard to reach being off-route and all.
