Just over 3 weeks ago I rapped down Bentrovarto wall at Sublime point to have a look at Marxism and the wall around it. I left my 100m static line there, planning to come back the next day and check out some new climbs.
Unfortunately my wife (who was 36 weeks pregnant) started having on and off contractions, and we eventually ended up spending the last week or so in Sydney.
The good news is that I have a beautiful new baby daughter.
The bad news is that when I returned today to pick up my rope, I found it had disappeared!!
I have spoken to all the usual culprits (Neil, Mikl, Bundy), but they have no idea what has happened to it, and Mikl did not see it there a week ago.
The rope was hanging about 5 metres to the left (looking in) of Colliseum Corner, and reached the base with about 25 m of slack rope, which I expect was rather tangled in the trees at the base!
Anyway... if you by chance picked up the rope, please return it to me!! I normally would not leave a rope hanging for so long, but was unexpectedly not able to return and pick it up.
On the other hand , if you have deliberately stolen it, I will accept an anonymous dropoff on my balcony in Blackheath!!
Thanks,
