| Sorry to post this if this info is posted elsewhere, but are you able to rap the first four pitches of Triassic with a single 80? I know, I know, I should man up and top it out but Saturday my buddy and I only have a half day to climb...
Would one be able to do some swinging nonsense over to Sand Felipe or something else I might be missing?
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

| I would imagine that it would be possible to rap from 3 to 2 with an 80 then move over onto Sand Felipe's lower anchors. No swinging really necessary. |

| Awesome, thanks for the reply. Just got my hands on an 80 so am giddy to use it [I despise dragging two ropes up free routes, just the 'Merican in me and my disdain for twins/doubles :) ] |

Dude, I dont know. That long pitch above the crux is long enough I'm just not sure you could get down with a single 80m- Handren calls it 160', this site calls it 150'. You can go about 135', maybe 140' with a single 80m assuming rope stretch and a long cut on the line....it'll be damn close, but if its 160', you're hosed.
I'd just take a 60m and top out if you dont want to drag the extra rope. If you really want to use the 80m, go up the Velvet wall, i know you can rap that with an 80m line. |
