Sport in MN: 60M or 70M rope?
|
Hey guys, |
|
A 60M is good enough for most of the climbing areas here in MN. The only place I know that it will not work for is Wolf Ridge (Mystical Mountain Zone) up on the Northshore (Tettegouche). I don't know about Colorado. Red Wing is sport. Every where else is top rope/trad. |

Sport in MN is largely Red Wing and Sandstone. Which you like more is kind of based on your personality. Do you like choss more or broken ankles more? 60m is long enough to climb everything in either of those places. Colorado is huge and obviously some places a 70 would be better. Will you climb in such places? I dunno. |
|
90% or so of sport climbs in Colorado can be climbed on a 60 meter, so only having a 60 on visits there would not limit you too much. I can't speak for MN. |

Thanks Pontoon, I forgot about Willow and Sandstone. |

Sweet! I'm from MN but I'm going to school in CO so I'll most likely end up buying a 70M first, considering that I can just trim the ends after awhile. Thanks for the advice guys! |
