Freeman Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 I can build a simple 3:1 or 9:1, or a compound 6:1 pulley system real easily, but a 5:1? Quote
Jason_Martin Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 Freeman said: I can build a simple 3:1 or 9:1, or a compound 6:1 pulley system real easily, but a 5:1? I can´t seem to open the file and read the report... So no comment on that. However, I thought it might be of interest for you to know that the AMGA teaches the 5:1 raise in their rock courses. I suspect if you saw it once you´d be able to build it just as easily. Jason Quote
ryland_moore Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 There has been a lot of contravery over this area as it was opened in 2001. Skiers can ride the tram up to the top, traverse through a gate and be out of bounds in no time. A lot of critics were woried that it would cause the number of rescues to skyrocket and put too much stress on the volunteer rescue crew. So far, this is the first gumby case I've heard about in this area, and being from Tahoe, those guys should have known better...... Quote
