Was last time I went down a little while back. I've never known it not be, in fact.
Enjoy!
I have. But then I was told on one of the occasions it was removed due to extreme wear by the person who removed it as it was becoming dangerous, so I was prepared and brought one to use and left it in-situ. On the other occasions we were able to cope without the handline.
Somebody may say "Yes - it was there on Saturday", but it may have been removed on Sunday or today.
If you think you really need to have the handline there, its best to be prepared.
