How thin of a rope can a guy safely rap off??
Coldfinger replied to Woodcutter's topic in The Gear Critic
My advice is just bring half your twin set and be done with it! If you are skiing sanely, you will be carrying full avy gear anyway and a partner or two and splitting up rap gear even if you need 60 m of rope will take care of weight. If your party is only doing a few short raps just bring one diaper style harness (eg BD Couloir), one locker & belay device and one twin rope if weight is THAT much of a big deal. -

Some seriously good advice: Stop gram counting and do the following: Close your eyes and picture yourself hurtling through the air, hitting the mountain repeatedly (breaking bones) and finally hitting the talus or ending up deep in a bergschrund where you expire slowly over several hours. MAKE SURE YOU ARE RAPPING ON A CLIMBING ROPE!!!!! If you want really light, either get a 30m section of Beal randonee rope and pair it with 5mm pullcord or just get a 60m twin rope. The difference being in how much rapping you will be doing. The pull cords are light but are a real pain in the ass for a lot of rapping as they tangle unmercifully and are not a lot of fun to climb if you get a stuck cord. One 60m rope will get you plenty of distance and very less risk of getting stuck as there is no knot. You can even lead 30m pitches or bring it along with a single rope for full length rappels in summer rock climbing. -

In your defense she might have been the kind of girl with whom one needs 35 pairs of undies for a road trip. -

You are right, especially as they end up in Hong Kong rather than in line at the unemployment office! -

Does anyone know if CC.com is supported by a Verizon platform or subsidiary? In light of recent news it does make one wonder. -
