There are numerous exagerations and misstatements in this report. But I'll let the participants speak for themselves.
And for the record, you Can't touch the ropes from the trail....

Short answer to the OP question....
Longer than they've been there thus far.
We've made two efforts so far. Both times we've been weathered out. First by blazing heat. Second by torrential rains that went on for about a week, caused waterfalls and rock-slides, etc. We have real lives with real demands we must return to, so a week of rain is pretty much a trip-killer.
And Jaybro is correct: The ropes have never been hanging "over" or "into" the trail at any point.
Who are you, Tard? How about a real name instead of a "handle"? You've often seemed to have a Tard-on for me. LOL

Actually, you're not touching them in the pic. Actually, in the pic, the "clumps" are quite a ways up and to the side of the trail, even in the pic you've got that is taken from the ONE angle that makes them appear even close.
Another point is that that pic was apparently taken just two weeks before we just returned this month. The ropes had been secured high above the trail via two peckers. A month ago, we were told by a friend that they were still secured there. But two weeks later we got there to find the ropes dangling as the pic shows.
Did YOU go up and yank out the peckers to cut them loose? Again, you seem to have a Tard-on for me. They were secured before your pic.
And, even loose for a couple of weeks, they still were not "in" or "over" the trail as you say.

So, seriously, what's your Tard-on?
Without a real name, I won't bother with you anymore. There's "nothing to see here; move along."

Judging from Plaid's dispatches on FB, y'all climbed like 100ft in 10 days? That's even slower than Pete!

Hi my name is Richard.
And Jaybro is correct: The ropes have never been hanging "over" or "into" the trail at any point.
Who are you, Tard? How about a real name instead of a "handle"? You've often seemed to have a Tard-on for me. LOL
Did you see the pic of me standing right next to your ropes?
Just wondering how long it is cool to leave ropes up for months on end.

I could do that. Just trying to get an idea of how long is too long. What are the rules?

Rules? Fug dat schist! Take your rules nd wipe your . . .
Thirty days to a life time . . . as long as it takes. What's it to you ? Why do you care?
Someone has the gumption to go. . . . Do that soft stone creeping good on them !
and anyway that they get after it is better - more worthy of respect. . . than a whinny B.
IF You can go do the same ? Then maybe you should, that is as I say . . . if you can.

Because every time I jog that trail those ropes are hanging there.
Mr Jenkins and Jaybro both lied and said they are not in the trail.
Why would they do that if it was no big deal. I mostly just boulder. Maybe it's time to learn how to jug.

So when you are 50 come back and tell us all who you get after it! I'll wager, you'll be done at 45.( you only need to make it 20yrs to best me so. . .)
*Because every time I jog that trail those ropes are hanging there. Mr Jenkins and Jaybro both lied and said they are not in the trail. Why would they do that if it was no big deal. I mostly just boulder. Maybe it's time to learn how to jug. Are they "hanging there", or "On The Trail"?
To be clear the definition of "On The Trail" that you are clinging to is clearly wrong.
Support your fellow climbers! Bouldering ? Please there is climbing and there is complaining about others' climbing.
So jog some place else if it bothers you.

Did you see the picture of the ropes right next to me on the trail?
Just trying to get a feel about what climbers think about this stuff.

If I saw the rope there I would scan the line to see where it goes.
I could care less if the rope is there .....

As a matter of fact , "ON THE TRAIL IS NOT HANGING FROM A CLIFF ALONG SIDE OF A TRAIL.
IF I CAME ACROSS SWINGING ROPES, ID DO A SOLID AND SECURE THEM AWAY FROM UN-informed non-climbers. you just jumped in ? On another thread?
1st true EDIT: ladies choice, it was actually DMT, who showed me the light. Way back in the old "Sloanifacation" thread, there are bolts all over the place, I've excepted it, Erik is a Visionary !
( pHART noise, but the gym bred rats will be paying him homage when we are all dead.)
& yes, it is not like I'm going to be getting into a suffer-fest,
I wish I could Climb Anything in the Valley! . . Dang - I've used This body used it hard
At my size I was a dyno/ dead pointing fool, the doc took my right shoulder apart and said just don't do " That" any more, I can't throw a ball. .. .
And all I did in the most recent bash Sloan thread was grab post #20, to point out that Erik was not on the board, by adding a picture* showing that his account has been deactivated.
*a picture I found in the archive, but that was deleted, it was not meant to annoy kunlun_shan,
Who's I'm sure struck my posts from his sight ,
Taken from the next page to entertain, (mostly myself)
I'm a broke, broke knee, broke-down, stiff shouldered ole' dad. I wish I could bang my way up
Hell, If I could, I'd jugg to failure, and then jugg more and spend hours doing so,
still dream of the attempt I made on the Free Blast.
So that's why I was playing around with you and Pass the Pitons Pete
I'm sorry that you two saw it that way.
I got the message and have not addressed either of you ever until now.
A.5.14, I think you are inspiring. I lived that external fixation gig for half as long as you did.
I did nowhere near the things you did in that condition,exploded/ broken ankle & heel,
( I have tried to write this out so that it needs no editing? not that it bothers me that folks watch my mind fart ou this tripe)
Good night, see ya around 4am

hey Gnome, how many times you going to edit your posts?
Also, "why do you care? what's it to you?" could be applied to you and your joining in on the Erik Sloan gang-bang.
What do you care? It's not like you're going to climb El Cap, eh?

We'll keep on trying until you can't.

Thanks for the input. Just trying to get a dialogue going on what climbers think about this impact on LNT policy. I see a lot of people shitting on Slone who seems to be trying to do a community service. Didn't Chongo Chuck get sh#t for fixed lines once?
No need to get panties in a bunch. Just having a campfire convo.
