You can't reel in on a short fall like that, it happens too quickly.
But Professor CBS will let you borrow his slide rule so you can start calculating fall factor while your leader is sketching so you can decide if it is worth it to reel.
Also your math only works for static ropes. More likely with rope stretch the leader will still fall 10 feet but on 13 feet of rope now for FF = 0.77
Actually it turns out that somebody from my company is the environmental monitor for this bridge replacement. If I was on the ball I could have gotten that job and I'd be out in Nesakwatch Creek all week instead of in teh office spraying.
They are replacing the bridge so that they can haul out, so expect the road to suddenly be 2wd all the way to Rexford trail soon.
Nelson's YDS grades are bunk. 5 or 6 pitches can easily be a III but would pretty much have to be all difficult aid to make it a IV ("a long all day climb with the possibility of a bivi")
Gideons are usually red and you can replace them for free from a motel if you lose them.
Starless and Bible Black is a good route in Australia that I would like to climb.
Recent research has revealed that people living in urban areas tend to be more fit and less fat than those living in the suburbs who are in turn fitter and leaner than those in rural areas.
