There seems to be some confusion in the Leap World among several parties and climbing sites whether one can rap Labor of Love anchor (about 12 feet West of The Line at first belay area) with a 70m. Curious if anyone here has ACTUALLY done it. I realize chances of an ACTUAL FIRST HAND ACCOUNT of this are slim here but I thought I'd try for one. Thanks.
PS
Hey Moosedrool, your friend TWP has several pics of Phantom Spires and maybe elsewhere posted to The Line Photos here at SuperTopo - which might cause confusion for some seeking beta. Nice to see you climbed it, and recently too. Cool!

Nope. The anchor for LOL is even with the end of the first pitch of the Line. We just did the line. It was a good ways past the color change on my 70. I'm sure that even with stretch you're going to come up way shorter than you want to.

Thanks Low for the response.
I could've been clearer too. A couple of folks say there's an easy dike hike - or in this case, an easy dike descent - for the first 15 feet on LOL which makes it possible, another says this is not the case.
I guess I'll just verify it myself, firsthand, one way or another. I'm sure I knew the facts once upon a time many years ago. Failing memories, I guess.

Again, thanks. Happy climbing!
EDIT
Thanks Petch for that info, I'll check it out.

THIS IS GENERAL INFO AND NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT CLIMB...
But you can always lower the first person to the ground, setup a single line rappel via a butterfly knot and locking biner on the other side of the chain, rap the single line, and then use whatever cord / slings you have to tie to the end of the pull strand on your way down to get the pull side down to the ground.
If that didn't make sense, don't do this :)

It's possible to rap off with a 60m to the right and get on the anchors of a few dollars more and rap from there. The FDM anchors are slightly hidden by a shallow rt facing corner and are just below some old 1/4"ers
