Off_White Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 Anyone done it? Beckey says 200' of rappelling from the tower to the lower ledge system. My question is can it be conveniently done with a single 50 meter rope? Quote
robertm Posted July 31, 2002 Posted July 31, 2002 I would be surprised if there were any "fixed" rap stations on this route due to the lack of traffic. Bring some extra webbing and make your own and then you can be sure one rope is enough. Quote
Colin Posted August 1, 2002 Posted August 1, 2002 Mark and I did this route last summer, and never made any rappels (on the climb). When it was time to leave the crest and drop to the right, we just made a traverse instead. I'm not sure if we left the crest prematurely or not, but I don't think we did. Beware the notch at which the route tops out - it is by far the worst rock on the route and is quite loose. From the notch we made one single-rope rappel, before scrambling down to the snowfield.
