Warbonnet descent question

Are 2 ropes needed? Just trying to figure out how much "conditioning" we're in for...

 

Projected dates of being there are in the range of Aug 24-26 so maybe we'll stumbled into others who decide to bring only one rope. (We got lucky this way on the G. Teton.)

 

TIA for info.

You can get off the mountain with one rope, but you miss one of the greatest raps in the lower 48 if you only have 1 rope.

IMO the extra weight of the rope is worth the ride off the top with a 100' freehanging rap with 1000' of air under you, also, some of the lower rap stations are kind of awkward with only 1 rope, but that's your choice.

We were up there 2 weeks ago and it was 90+ at 10,000 ft, no clouds and no wind, but the heat about killed us. Hope it cools some for you.

And as far a meeting "others", you'll be lucky to find any tracks of others on that mountain. Beautiful mountain, but remote.
