KaskadskyjKozak Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 i get annoyed when i get stuck behind a slow group of 8. sorry, just can't help myself. just curious (and this is a serious question), but what is the maximum party size you find to be acceptable? is 6 too large?

catbirdseat Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I climbed with you on one occasion and you seemed pretty laid back. Now you are all up tight. What changed? Must be from hanging out with Arch or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minx Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 CBS-yeah, i'm annoyed. i don't appreciate the allegation that my opinion is based from the spray on this site. i'd like to think that mostly, i'm a pretty mellow partner but i know for a fact that i'm not a mellow person. KK-frankly, i don't really want to be behind anyone. that said it probably depends on how fast the party is moving and how they're set up to climb. 2 parties of 2 have deterred me. other times a group of 4 seemed reasonable. organization is probably the biggest factor.

John Frieh Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 just curious (and this is a serious question), but what is the maximum party size you find to be acceptable? is 6 too large? 6 is the permit party limit inside the NCNP. Mounties seem to circumvent this with multiple permits and then camp together. Bottom line: I don't care how big or small your group is. You just better let the faster team pass even if it means you have to wait at a belay. First on the route does not = first to the top. And offer what ever route you have TR sieged to anybody else who comes by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 As far a clogging up certain climbs, I'd say an appealing trip report on cc.com is a much bigger problem for clogging a climb than any mountaineer party. If one guy comes back and says he had a good time on, say, Dragontail, the route will be clogged for the next three weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 John, I'm being serious here. If you ever catch a Mounties party larger than 6 in NCNP (or two Mounties parties camped together), please report it to the Mounties at once. In the past there had been errors in the database (or no database) that allowed for situations for different branches to bump into each other on a climb, but I think those have been fixed. If leaders are not checking the schedule for conflicts, then they will be censured. By reporting any violations you see to the Mounties, you will help ensure that you will never see more than 6 Mounties at once in NCNP. The Mounties intend to follow the rules just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 John, I'm being serious here. Gary, this is a spray thread. Please keep it light and tasteless. Any more discussion of being serious and a mod will have to move this to another section or lock it. mmmkay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
