Anyone know if there are currently decent ropes fixed to Heart?

Thanx!

heard they are gone (edit: but that's changed, see posts below, guess they are up)

Doesn't mean it's not time to put up new ones as community service, having old nasty ones was a hazard that needed removal

Peace

I may have an old rope or two to donate to the cause if needed.

Can anyone confirm the status of the fixed ropes please?

Pete,

Scroll down toward the end of the report 5-13-10 Starting with the Paragraph that talks about the Ask A Climber Starting up again. Tom states that new Ropes are in Place due to the fact the old ones were taken down.

"The “fixed” ropes, from the Heart were taken down a few days ago due to their dangerous condition. Not to worry, new ones have allready replaced them!"

Thanks Tom and Slakkey. I missed this. That's good to know.

One assumes they are there to stay, and not merely put up for a couple days for someone to get up? Further observations a few days hence would be appreciated!
