OlympicMtnBoy Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Freed your stuck rope and carried it out. Describe the rope and where you left it and I'll try to get it back to you! - Stewart Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Ptobably mine. 10.5 x 60, blue grey, near the bottom of Dark Rythm. Sorry, meant to police it but never got back up there. We stuck it near sunset. We can wait until our next trip or I can pick it up from you at your convenience. Thanks, Stewart. Whats your beer brand these days?

OlympicMtnBoy Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Yep, that's it! Rattle and Slime says not to rap pitch 3 of Dark Rhythm if you want to leave with both your ropes, hehehe. I pulled your rope up then cut over to a tree anchor on Blueberry and went down from there to P2 on Dark Rhythm than to the ground. A good day out in the sun on Rainman for us. Finally went to the summit too. I've been enjoying Belgian sour beers lately, but I like anything with color and flavor. Let's get out again soon! Or come to our Halloween party this Saturday in Georgetown! Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 You should have seen the death stump we rapped off of prior to that. you probably know the one. OMFG. I called up to Josh "you may not like this much". He didn't. At all. I think we may have been the first idiots to use that thing in years. Overall, not our best descent day. We left no flake unturned. I'll come over if I'm in town - but I've been busy with other crap lately and I'm really itching to get out. I've probably got your address somewhere, but if you could help me find it.... Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I'm going to gift it to you so you can call it a 'new' rope. Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted October 24, 2013 Author Posted October 24, 2013 Sweet, now I can advertise it as a "new" rope on craigslist! That sucker is fat and heavy. And why the heck were you rapping off death stumps? We had nice bolted rap anchors except for the one sturdy live tree on Blueberry. I mean if Ivan were with you that would explain things but you said Josh. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Because the Death Stump is still heavily tatted up, looks OK from above, is way more visible than the 'good' tree, which is a brushy mess, perhaps? Or maybe we are, in fact, just morons. that's always a possibility. Also, we were descending the W Butt, not Dark Rythm. I looked for a bolt anchor to climbers left, but couldn't see one. I found it mid rap, but continued because the stump still looked OK from above. Um...not. Rest assured, after my next trip, the Death Stump will be a Death Memory. I"m going to ax murder the shit out of that thing, trundle it, blow it up, then burn it. It's so rotten excision shouldn't take long. Hope that doesn't ruin the character of the climb for anyone. Actually, Ivan's the far more experienced rock jock, although SuperBoy could probably catch up pretty quickly - he's not one to underestimate, I've found.
