ryland_moore Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I'd still use an 8mm on Rainier or any other major peak in the Cascades for glacier slogs. I used an 8.8 mm for Denali and didn't think twice about it. Quote
jaee Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Not complaining about the size, but the fact that it's static. I've never caught an actual crevasse fall. I have fallen into a slot before and was surprised at how far I went. That was on a 9mm. Just seems like the initial pull would be a lot higher w/ a static line. Quote
