Stuck rope in Kolob
It with deep regret that I have to admit that our group got our rope stuck in Kolob this Sunday. We got a little distracted playing around in a pothole about 3/4 through the technical portion and nobody noticed the overhand knot that formed in the end of the rope until it was too late. It was a good learning lesson I guess as it shows the importance of paying attention to what you are doing all of the time. Luckily for us it was our 120' footer and we still had a 200', or else it could have been much worse. The original plan was to go back through the canyon today, but the rain forecast didn't work in our favor.
It is a green Imlay 120' Canyonero, and if anyone finds it there is a 6-pack (plus good karma) in it for you.
Thanks

Has the rope been recovered? I believe Tom went through last weekend. If not I plan on going soon.

True. I just hope it found a good home. :)
My partner who pulled the rope ended up purchasing a new one for me, against my protestations. I figured even though he was pulling the rope we all should have been paying attention. Plus this just means when I lose something of his I have to replace it.
