ya if you go to solo a route with no top-out youve gotta downsolo to get off, like alex huber on der opportunist! altho i read he traversed to an 11c to down-solo
Hey Bill I know what you mean aboutthat finger traverse mmove. That wasthe stopper for me for a long time. Finally I went for it and it was almost easier on solo cause you can use all the finger locks instead of stuffing gear it.
Calculus Crack is another real good solo, bomberr positive locks through thecrux and hard to fall off ther rest - I think the crux is actually the wet corner on the approach pitches - I found Mtn Masters are better for that than rock shoes cause its so dirty most times.
Bag liners get damp and skanky
But you don't have to wash the sleeping bag as often just the liner
So is a less comfortable sleep (for reasons Josh noted) worth it? Your call. I hate liners, VBL, silk or whatever. bUt if they work for you then fine.
