rocketparrotlet Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) I have Friday off to climb, how about sometihng in Index or Darrington? I was thinking G.M. at Index and some stuff at the lower wall, and there's some routes I'd like to lead there too (easier stuff). In Darrington, I was thinking maybe Dreamer or Safe Sex, or something on Three O'Clock Rock. I can follow 5.9, lead 5.7. I've got a rope and a rack, but no car. -Mark Edited September 24, 2009 by rocketparrotlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 do you have double 50 or 60's? if not, darrington is out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yes, nearly all Darrington routes require a 2nd rope for rappels. You can rap from at least one or two Three O'Clock Rock routes without two ropes, Dreamer was for years treated as a walk-off-the-back-side outing and, from the looks of it, I think folks are rapping the West Slabs route on Blueberry Hill with a single rope (but it means rapping from single bolts on Westward Ho). You need a 2nd rope but do they have to be "doubles?" No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketparrotlet Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yeah, I thought you could walk off the back, that's why I suggested it. Index is fine too. But I really just don't want to sit around. -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
