Off_White Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 My son is headed out with his friend tonight for their first self-contained alpine adventure. He wanted to know if the descent for S Ridge N Peak needs two ropes or if one will suffice. I haven't a clue, but I'm sure you do... Quote
Lambone Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 its easy to rap it with one rope. there are many bealay anchors. the crux may be rapping through multiple parties. we climbed it in late afternoon and had no trouble. the mounties get an alpine start Quote
Off_White Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 Thanks, thats just the info needed. They're hoping to be a little bit lonelier up there on a Wednesday, but who knows.... Quote
Lambone Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 it's a very cool route, thet'll have a blast. one thing worth mentioning, hope its not too late...we had a 60m rope. I vaugely rememberthe first rapple being almost 100 ft, but I'm not exactly sure. Quote
Roger Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 no worries, off white - we did the first rap with a single 50 meter to an absurdly huge bolt anchor. Our second rap was all the way down with two ropes, but there's another anchor in there somewhere. Quote
