Orbit 2020
Gear 60m rope Doubles of #0.3-1, and a single #0.2 and single #2… I actually meant to bring doubles of #2 and a single #3, but I’m glad I didn’t, this gear was perfect!! No reason to bring those other two cams! Nuts with doubles of two of the medium-small ones Radios! Useful! Basically each…
