  1. Good deal dude, glad you made it.

    My 1st trip to Muir in the 80's was somewhat similiar, however, we took a sixpack and a pack of smokes to celebrate, sounds like you are happy man.......see ya up there.

  2. OK, quik question regarding what gear, appart from your rope do you carry on a 2 person climb, how you distribute it evenly, and more........

     

    Just simple enough, we all have to admit to setting our rigs on the living room floor, or the yard and workin it to perfection when nobody is lookin'.....So tell us.

     

    My system starts with an 8.5 50m rope with 10 coils off of each end in a kiwi coil, followed by a pulley/locking oval/short prussik/and my leg stirups made out of 5mm spectra cord, all attached as part of the system.

     

    I use the attached leg stirups with loops on the ends as my anchor attachment points once Im in self arrest, which also serve as my ascending leg stirups as mentioned.

     

    Since its a 2 person team, I like to have my gear ready so all I have to do is place my anchor and attach the rest, which then sets me up for my 6:1 system.

    The pulley,biner,prussik,and stirups are in my pocket on the ready for action.

     

    Its a really nice way to get your stuff set when the sh*t hits the fan and you find yourself in a bad spot.

     

    Photos will follow, let me know what ya think.
