David_Parker Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 So I think I convinced Wayne to spend one of the days at rope-fest to teach roped solo climbing. Just putting out a "feeler" for interest. Of course He'll need to show up so we can take him up on it. Whatta ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the concepts, but would benefit from someone setting the whole thing up so I can go, "Oh, yeah, that's what I thought." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambone Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 A british soloist got rescued off Eagls Way on El Cap just recently. Â He was backcleaning an A4 pitch (rurps+heads), fell, broke the locking biner that held his gri-gri, bounced off a ledge, and his back up knot caught him. Â They tried to charge him for it because he was soloing with a gri-gri, and climbing without bivi gear. Â He tells the tale in a threas on RC.com Aid forum...it's intersting.

David_Parker Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 So anyone else interested? I imagine some of this stuff could prove useful for emergency situations. I want to learn because I could see myself doing something moderate like Mt. Cruiser solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I don't think I'd want to spend a whole day on this, but I'd be interested to see his system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
