I always check for a basic level of connectivity by pinging the
all-hosts multicast address, e.g.,
ping6 ff02::1%wm0
You can also try pinging the second host's link-local address,
ping6 fe80::221:9bff:fefc:c5cc%wm0
Maybe the subnet 2605:2600:1001::/64 wasn't installed properly when
the interface was configured? When I get unexpected results, I
like to check for a route to the particular host:
route -n get -inet6 2605:2600:1001::43
Hope that helps.
