Riley81 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Snow creek wall has a walk off and when done properly will get you down faster then rappeling. Quote
boadman Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 It's been a couple of years, but I remember the old rap route as already having decent hardware, and consisting of only two raps, following by a little scramble. Why would someone go to all the work to add a multi-rap line down the face? I don't really understand the motivation. I bet it's still faster to go the original way. Quote
Figger_Eight Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 i don't understand your reasoning for bolting a rappel route down the west face of news. the preexisting descent route is easy and safe, but may be hazardous for guided clients with minimal mountain experience. I've never understood this idea. A competent guide with clients is much safer than a party with two new climbers. Quote
