Fixed ropes on heart ledge

Does anyone know the condition of the ropes are they safe to rap on.

You’re starting at the top. You’ll know what every rope looks like from the safest position.

Rap down on the fixed rope, no matter how bad, with a belay from your partner above. If you don’t die, they can rap the same rope.  

At the very worse, you’ll have one rope, why not  take a tag line and rap on your own ropes? 

A couple weeks ago, the second rope from the bottom was really bad. All glazed to snot - it needs replacing. The rest of the ropes were ok.  

Might be interesting to send a section of that glazed rope to Ryan at HowNot2 for testing… or any other of the thrashed fixed ropes. 

A friend ascended those ropes a couple days ago.

Thank you we didn’t need them we just rapped down the normal way off the nose but some photographers did ascend them when we where there and said they where fine.
