buy a spool dude. but 60m is the perfect length so prepare to suffer!

actually Scott Flavelle used to use a 100m 9mm rope, the leader ran out 100m pitches on easier ground and doubled up and climbed 50m pitches on harder ground.

It took me to SummitPost

Well hmmm if I wanted to disprove someone elkse's point I could have used a 30m rope and done it in 20 pitches too, but so what? Longer ropes meant fewer belays on similar terrain on two separate but adjacent routes climbing a wall of the same height. If we had been drilling anchors on a clean slab the effect would have been even more pronounced and resulted in fewer anchors too.

Back on topic.. I have climbed 2 routes on the same face. One was 12 50m pitches long because we had 50m long ropes. A neighbouring route was 10 60m pitches long when we brought 60m ropes along. No doubt if I'd had 70's I would have climbed 9 70m pitches.

Did you notice the question is in the NEW ROCK CLIMBING FORUM by chance there old bean?

it's def the chalk. its your dead skin drying up and peeling off. stopovergripping, wash your hands thoroughly and use a moisturizer until you build up some callusses.

They are "mountaineering routes" but have minimal, or no, "alpine climbing". The question asked relates to "alpine climbing".

So that is what is meant by Reubenesque!

I don't think you even need to rope up on Fischer Chimneys, so what's the point of using it as an example? Also on Baker N ridge there is what, 2 pitches of technical climbing...again seems irrelevant.

I heard moa tastes like chicken.

Now I see where off white gets his fashion inspiration from!

For instance

If Chamonix has been cleaned of alpine bolts, can WA PAss be far behind

parrot type bird live 25 years IN CAPTIVITY... that means with you...vs almost 100 years in the wild.

I put my gear in the reactor for half an hour and irradiated it. Now i can easily check that the gear is mine with the Geiger counter I have built into my keyring. Also it is "hot" enough to use as a warmth source at unplanned bivis!

If you are gonna claim the "I was speeding to get to the washroom in the nearest town" excuse, you should be prepared to get out of the car and pee while the cop has you pulled over.

Since you are a brewer I guess that is a truly official Beer Belly!

I think there should be a NEW PUMPKIN CARVING FORUM!

its more proof god hates dwayner and thats why he can't climb 5.13

"dru" is already banned on that board stupid. but I registered "iain" and "imorris"

I found this posted on ukclimbing, no idea what the French site is but I bet if you Google "terrain d'aventure" you can find it...
