I climbed it for the first time myself a few months ago, and had a similar epic... I led the last pitch and went straight past the anchors. Couldn't find them for the life of me.
It was the windiest day I have ever climbed on, making communication impossible with the 3 grumpy, dehydrated people on the lunch ledge!
I ended up building a trad belay, and all that could be communicated was:
"did you find the rings?"
"no, but i'm on belay"
"what??"
Luckily we were climbing with 2 parties, so one of them came up on the second rope to suss out what was going on. All good in the end, but it took us something like 4 hours to get up it...
