In reply to ree1064:
We climbed the Original route a couple of weeks ago. We put our own Tyrolen in across to the start of pitch one and did the traverse but we were lucky to have a lovely sunny day. The tide was actually too high on the way out so even with a tight line we were concerned that in the middle we would have been very close to getting dipped so both swam but used it to transfer the gear dry. We both used it on the return with no issues. We left 3m of static rope in-situ on the stack side to make our tyrolen retrieveable.
There was an anchor at the first belay for another tyrolen as described above then but the 3 nuts were not brand new and were very wedged in by obviously having had a lot of force on them. It had a few meters of white static line with 2 maillons on it.
The abseil anchor at the top was orientated to send you back to that belay (at the end of pitch one). It also had the same static line with 2 maillons on it. We rotated the anchor, by shifting the in-situ rope around the 2 boulders at the top to take us back to our tyrolen. It all worked fine.
We were glad of all the extra faff to make it such an excellent adventurous day, but on a sunny day like we had a swimming both ways would be far faster!
I think a small amount of tat that gets removed/replaced regularly in these type of situation is OK. When I find tat that has just been added to and there is a big bundle I try to have a tidy up.
