Mt. Washington rap length

[CWC01]

Anyone know the rap length for the final rap to get down? I thought I read it can be done with a 40m cord but want to confirm.

When I did it I had a single 60 m rope. I suspect you could get past the worst of the climbing with a 40, but it would require some downclimbing steep 4th class terrain after the end of the rope.

Try the search feature.

[Voytek]

final rap is short(first pitch) 40m should do it.

Thanks, I've climbed it a few times but don't want to drag a 60m up again.

Perhaps something a little more definitive to what has been posted here and elsewhere.

 

from the final rap station:

 

-30m* cord will get you to the top ramp and easily down climbed.

-40m cord will get you to the first ramp / belay stance for first pitch on north ridge approach.

-50m+ will get you to the notch on north ridge.

 

*Belaying the first pitch will be a bit more creative with less than 40m.
