Does no one know who has these ropes hung? Can't we just ask the owners of the ropes to just take them down? Like someone mentioned before, Gyana Mudra could easily be aided to set the top rope back up. I can't believe someone hasn't stolen that rope yet. Quick draws left on a 5.10 for a day, gone, nice rope hanging in a tree, ripe for the picking and pawning for crack, stays alive for months!

I got nothing on gyana mudra, however the rope on snotrocket is covered in Horatio's schmegma.
I'd suggest dowsing it from the top with gasoline and burning it off.

any top rope left up over night on an established route should be considered booty.

I'll be out that way and am inclined to clean up based on Cpt's word.
Local, you're post is a little cryptic, if I clean up the "mess", should I give you the ropes/ gear?

At least on Gyana Mudra, you will want to get to clean the draws that are in the anchors and directionals before you pull the rope. Not sure about Snotrocket.

I know who the rope belongs to on Snotrocket. If there is truly an issue, or someone is ready to send the route, I'll let him know for you so he can get it out of the way.

Jeff and others: please leave the rope on Snotrocket alone. It is getting handled offline. Thanks.
