Does anyone know whose ropes are in Oddmire entrance ?
The rope is fine, but the alloy karabiners are in a very bad state, they are corroding (aluminium alloy on stainless steel) and leaving a slimy residue on themselves and the new IC anchors. We managed to take one off, a snap link, but the other alloy karabiner gates are seized.
Either the owners or the next group down should take up some mole-grips and a hacksaw and remove them from the new in-situ anchors asap.
