There were fixed ropes on the approach, October 2012 and a fixed rope to the top of the second pitch. Yellow haul bag with approach shoes and ropes inside is setting at the base. Looked like it had been there awhile so we took a peek inside. There was probably more stuff but we just took a peek. Very strange. We spent 6 days on the route. I called it "Blood-Sweat-and Fear"

Thanks again for the beta. It resulted in a successful approach, and a great climb!
There are roughly 600-800' of static line fixed on the first three and a half pitches, two haul bags at the base, directionals, gear at the top of the fixed lines, a random dynamic rope at the top of the 2nd pitch, and probably more. If anyone climbs this thing anytime soon and it's still there, toss that sh#t to the ground. It's an eyesore, gets in the way of anyone leading, and leaving that much gear on a classic route is just narcissistic.
I had a blast on this wandering adventure. What a fun climb! Face holds forever! There are definitely bolts that could be replaced, but it wasn't too dangerous. That said, know what you're doing if you get on this because it's hard and there are mandatory runouts. Good times!
