You say that like you won't come crawling, begging for some valuable Canadian loonies so you can buy your kid a meal, once the greenback slides to the level of the Turkish lira.
Even if rapping and leaving ropes fixed??????
PLEASE try to stay on topic here! The topic is "6000 foot high faces in Washington I could rap by fixing 20 100m ropes"
Who needs the environment? These trees and rocks are made from plastic - that's right, OIL! - and they look just as gooder to me as the ones outside, plus they aren't all covered over with dirt and bugs!
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.
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.
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.
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.
