night time, november projecting.... a little obsessive.

can you rap moses with just one rope? i saw someone said you can rap pale fire with a 60m but does this involve some sketchyness or is it all good?

I seem to recall three rappels down the North Face on two 60m ropes but the rap's weren't all a full 60m each. Did seem longer than 120 feet per, though, so, my bet is a single 70m rope wouldn't work.

Anchors seemed ok to me, but, I climbed it a few years ago. Wild collection of old bolts/pins on the route, though.

Cheers.

I rapped the north face with a single 70m a couple years ago. Don't remember anything sketchy at all.

you lazy ass.

thats almost as lazy as stashing a rope at the base of a project to avoid carrying it up the 2.5 minute approach!
