Wayno-
We left the rope at the base. Maybe the rangers picked it up? I thought about hiking back up but had to catch my flight.

Hi Kevin
Is it true that the entire route fell off a few days after you and Mark did it?

Greetings, Mister Beck, how have you been?
The whole route didn't fall off, but the steep middle section did - probably a good 100 ft of the route - 3 days later.
Now I know that sounds crazy to some folks, but when you're obsessed with the climb, and you live in the Valley and have the opportunity to see the climb's changes and how they relate to the weather and temperatures over a period of many weeks, you'll see sections of it fall off. And then rebuild. A pattern of sorts becomes apparent.
The fickle and mysterious nature of the route coupled with its striking beauty are, I think, what make it such an exceptional climb. We watched sections of it fall off a few times before all the factors lined up in a positive way that year. I think we were finally able to climb it on our fifth slog up there.
I sure hope nobody ever goes down with it when it happens, but the moodiness and danger of the climb adds to its power.
There is still time for climbable conditions this season.
Maybe...

The FFA of an ice route is quite an accomplishment.
