Comrade Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 >By this point their rope was reduced to 38 meters in length How does this happen? Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 They cut the rope to make rap anchors along the way. Quote

Wallstein Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Or the rope was shortened do to core shots. This has actually stopped a couple other teams who were trying to do the whole fitz roy traverse. the rock is really coarse there and destroys ropes even if you aren't jugging. just making so many rappels will trash a rope down there.
