Ropes missing from Taipan 4-Oct-2014 At 11:16:32 AM ben wiessner

My friend and I left a couple of ropes at Taipan on Wednesday evening. Early this morning we hiked up to the wall and found them gone :(

They were stashed in a horizontal break where the track first meets Taipan, roughly below the Sirocco region.

One rope was in a green rope bag, a 70m black/white Mammut, a month old. The other rope was a 50m blue fuzzy Mammut.

Further up the track at the standard "stash point" (near the start of the boulder traverse) we found a green/white rope belonging to someone else (so the owner of that rope need not fret). When I was at the crag on Wed I saw a red/black ? softshell jacket stashed there, which was not there today (so hopefully it had been picked up by its owner and not the rope thief).

I guess I'll be stashing my ropes out of sight at Taipan in the future, in the boulders.
