Lost Rope near Sundance Canyon (West Clear Creek), AZ
|
We were forced to abandon our rope (200' Sterling Canyontech Rope) and 200' green pull cord (basic 6mm accessory cord). If anyone is running this canyon and releases these ropes, if you would please contact me, I would be greatly indebted to you! We live about 2 1/2 hours away and it has been raining too much to risk the trip back up. I'll happily treat you to dinner (read as: $50) and bring you some drop dead amazing cookies for hauling it up and out that nasty slope. |

We camped at the base of Sundance last Sunday September 28th and were confused about what this rope was doing in the crack beside the final rappel. It clearly wasn't used for the final rappel so we could only imagine it was left from someone aborting the crack without enough rope to pull it down. The rope wasn't moving from that spot. Anyways probably not the response you were looking for but it is a stuck rope nonetheless. There were no other ropes that I saw. |

Hello everyone. The rope in Stephens picture is mine. For the past few months I have been working on a new route going up the roof crack system in the grotto of Sundance canyon. It has been an incredible project and some of the most rewarding climbing I have ever done. Due to the weather and other factors(work) it has taken me longer than expected. The last trip there I was hoping to finish the route but the weather gods did not agree and sent a wall of water our way. Unfortunately we had to fix our haul line and get out of there in a hurry. That's when I met Sarah and her friends. We have not had a chance to get back to the route in the last two weeks but do plan on making it down there to finish the route and remove the terribly bright rope hanging off the wall. I do apologize for it being left so long but do hope the route and rope be left alone for a little while longer to give us a chance to finish. Thanks. |

Glad we figured out what that rope was doing there! Good luck on the first ascent Ryan! |
