mvs Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 I used to think that was the right thing to do. I used to carry a 10.5 mm 60 m rope for glacier travel. Any laughing I do is at my own expense too. But I do laff. And laff, and laff long. Quote
iain Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 I still do climb on glaciers w/ a long 9.something rope. I can't afford 6 billion different ropes for all this stuff. Quote

slothrop Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 I walked around my neighborhood late Saturday night with my new pack on, stuffed with rope (10.5x60, of course), rack, helmet(!), and harness. I thought about trying to climb a building or something, but I couldn't find anything I wanted to free solo with a pack on. Police cars kept driving by, too. I am a bigger dork than all those Mounties put together. It was frickin' Saturday night! At least Mt. Si is a mountain! Quote
