Paul rapelling off Wolf's Head. While Lou was repelling, a party above us knocked some rocks off that hit our rapel ropes near the anchor while they were resting on a rock and were under tension. They were cut about half way through. If one had been cut all the way, Lou would have been in very big trouble. As it was, we had to cut the ends off the ropes (10-20 feet, as I vaguely recall) and climb with shorter ropes after that. We requested the other party stay put until we were off. Duplicate
