[Hide Comment] While seemingly silly an “M” toprope rig for RA and Power Series can be managed off one 70m rope with the middle mark barely touching the ground. This may only be needed if someone forgets rope or extra buddies show up unexpectedly but it works. RA will need to be redirected to keep rope from freezing in the crack. There are options for redirect but rapping in and finger cams out left on a horizontal ledge will make a clean but draggy TR belay. May help a group of 4 get more wall time. Feb 2, 2022
