Went off route when rapping yesterday. Long story short had to cut our ropes, leave a ton of gear, and bivvy the night. We tried ascending the stuck rope, but the edge was sharp and the rope was cutting as we were ascending. Tried to lead us to get back on route but the rock around us was rotten...glad we made it out.

Scary! Stuck ropes are the scariest freakin' thing. Glad you kept your head and worked through the problems to make it off. 🧠💪 Thanks for sharing! 🙏
