What is it?
Where is it?
What was it for?

The compressor used by Maestri to place the controversial bolts on Cerro Torre. Stayed on the wall for years until not too long ago...?

Good job apogee!

I believe you are correct that in past years it was finally dropped off the rout. Can't remember if that happened by force and who did it or if it was just natural selection due to global warming.

I thought it was PTPP setting up to run his BIG WALL MICROWAVE AND ESPRESSO MACHINE.

Though it is not well known, Caesar really wanted the whole thing to go free. It is said he could see a route under the ice , it is also said that this de-icing inspired Skinner's torch on the grease in leavenworth :)
