Or maybe Lambone is another dangerous climber with absolutely appalling ropework? You are so clueless. Dude, we used one rope..don't make me repeat myself again.... although...I don't see anything wrong with your set up, except that it's hard on double ropes to TR on one strand. Still a gaper photo though...dude the homemade gorts and hunter orange pack have gotta go... Yes, it's tough on the ropes, but it's all we had. Did you have a 70m? I outgrew the pants. The pack's still hanging on, though! Quote

He was out there gettin' his groove on and I salute him for it. To Cracked: <--- That's cola, not beer (for a couple more years eh) Quote

As for the weighting the rope part, those skinny ropes absorb a lot of force. Though it sounds like I'm beating my chest, the reality was that the rope didn't take more than 5 pounds off. Was a fun little TR, even if I'm too chickenshit to lead it. Edit: THIS orange pack: Quote
Alpinfox Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 (edited) I don't see an orange pack. Is there another picture somewhere? EDIT: Oh, THAT orange pack... Edited October 19, 2003 by Alpinfox Quote

EWolfe Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 It was a good night of spray, you snartasses Quote
Necronomicon Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 It's amazing how high up you can bring your feet when you're hanging from the rope. Remind me to hang from the rope the next time I'm on lead. I'll try a figure four. Quote
