Dropped my blue Yates ladder while racking up for pitch 23 of The Nose at about 1am Friday. I'm wondering if our Canadian wall friends Andrew and Alex may have picked it up (hope you guys got the send!). Or perhaps another party - it looked like there were two groups above the Great Roof when I got to the valley floor Friday night. LMK if you have it, thanks!

alternatively, you can look amongst the trees, anywhere from 1/4mi to 1/2mi east of the nose :) 

sorry to hear that, my buddy busted a 15lb flake on the nose once, caught the flake to protect tourons below, watched his yates turn into a butterfly and it went at least 1/4mi east. Good luck with the retrieval.

Haha. I was in the upper dihedral and it wasn't windy at all. I'm guessing it landed around Camp V.

Hey Rob – I found your ladder at the top of Camp V on the 8th! Message me your address and I'll mail it to you
