We found two - 60m ropes on the Zodiac traverse on Friday. Guessing someone bailed in a hurry because they weren't stuck and seem to be pretty new and in good condition.
PM me if they're yours with what they look like and which tower they were on and we'll get em back to ya.

FYI - A guy on Mountain Project is offering a reward for the return of his two half ropes left on the Zodiac Traverse on September 9th. Came across the post after googling "zodiac traverse."

Two ropes for a 30 m max rappel?? What is this, Europe?

Good one!Re: Found - 60m ropes on Zodiac Traverse
Thanks for letting me know, I'll message him there!
Yeah I agree, a single 60 is definitely all you need. I supposed you could turn the double rap on Capricorn into one long rap, but not really worth carrying an extra rope all the way out there just for that.
