flyingkiwi1 Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 This is for a Canadian climber named Tennessee or anyone who knows him... I gave you some incorrect beta regarding rapping off Peasant's Route on the Grand Wall yesterday. I said you could get to the Exasperator anchor with two 60m ropes from the top of the 5th pitch of Peasant's, but that's not right; it's from the top of the 4th pitch that two 60s gets you to that anchor. The 5th pitch is short, and we did it with one of our ropes, leaving the other at the top of the 4th pitch. We used the one rope to rap from the top of the 5th back to the top of the 4th, then rapped with two down to Exasperator, and then with two again to the ground. Sorry - I spaced. -- Ian Quote
Tennessee Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 (edited) No problem, but thanks for the beta. People should note that you can't walk off any of the routes on the Chief, because of the backcountry ban in BC, and possibilities for descending are limited depending on what route you climb. We rapped off Uncle Ben's after topping out on Bellygood ledge. It was a straight forward, plumline rappel, even though it was super exposed. Oh, and thanks for the compliment, but I'm actually American. Edited September 2, 2003 by Tennessee Quote
