John,

I solved your mystery!!!! The purple rap sling is mine. I left it there about three years ago on a ground up ascent on the wave wall. Me and Scott Kerr camped on a Friday night and hit the wall early Saturday in search of a climb. We just picked a spot from the ground and hit it. We started to run out of daylight so that was our escape plan.

To confirm i think it was a four foot sling around a chockstone in a crack, brand name " On Sight "

Well thats cool it had always made me wonder. I thought I found that sling for the first time 4-5 years ago though? are you sure it was three years?

Out of interest I have a few questions for you for my documentation and the record book:)

Did you top out that route and do you have a name and description I could add to my documentation
What did you think of the rock quality
Did you rap back down the same line and could you do it to your sling with only one rope. I needed two ropes to get to the ledge when I rapped off the trees at the top and had to clear alot of brush to get it to pull as I recall?

Thanks for the info cheers

It may have been more than 3 years but i'm sure thats my sling. We did not top out the route. We climbed from ground up on lead using small cams and nuts only. We setup a belay from a ledge on the way to break up the pitch but it could have been done in one to get to that spot. If i'm right there should have been a overhanging roof right about your head where the sling was. I couldn't tell you about rapping from the top, like i said we started from the bottom. It was kinda wierd. When we hiked to the bottom that day we planned on trying something on the Main Wall but keep on trucking to the Wave Wall and just said this kinda looks do-able (if thats a word) Hope that helps. Gotta get back to Cape Clear this year. The rock was pretty solid on that clmb though.
