Open questions
- Do we need a 70m rope for rappeling?
- “You can make it down with a 60 but you might have to do a little downclimbing in places. having a 70 was nice. lots of places to get the rope stuck, be careful when you pull.”
- “We rapped the route with one 60m rope without any problems.”
- “We easily wrapped the route with a 70 m rope and a 60 m wouldn’t have changed things on the descent. A 70 m was nice, particular if linking Paisano and Burgundy.”
- Steph and another party rapped with single 60m
- Radios?
- Haven’t seen any mentions for or against
