Anyone climbed this route? Mostly curious if you rappel the route is it better to bring one or two ropes? Thanks

Just there a few weeks ago... although we didn't climb the Beckey - this is what I observed.. It comes into the East Ridge right where the going gets good - avoids the easy approach pitches on that route. Hits the ridge right before the "piton pitch". The day before we did the East Ridge, the weather took a turn - and a party bailed at the Beckey rappels. There was a rather nice rope hanging off the top station, doubled over, I mean - not tied off to a single strand.. leads me to beleive at least the 1st rap is doable with one rope. We didn't want to haul it - else I would have taken it. Upon our return to Bog Sandy - there was a note offering a $75 reward for the rope, chances are it's gone by now - as we climbed on the 13th. All this being said - you can get off the East Ridge with 1 rope, I suggest doing the Beceky->East Ridge - that would be a fantastic climb!

It's a sh**ty looking route in a beautiful area. why spoil your time in the cirque. There was a stuck rope strung out all over it and now there is (or was) another stuck rope...that should say something about it being a good descent route as well.
