Re: Calling out the Hacks.
People were running up and down the apron today with no rope...I told a guy not to die as he took off, partially joking but also because I agree with everyone above that it is inconsiderate to solo around so many people. I'm all for soloing and understand how great it feels to climb without gear, bu...

That's it, and if you clip them individually then clip them both after and fall, the different rope speeds running through the single biner will create some nasty friction....

Re: Preferred Rope Lengths?
Mike, climbing back home in Oz there are lot's of very wandery sandstone routes which work well with doubles. Most raps are 50m/60m or you have to walk. Aside from that, being able to sew up sketchy routes without worrying about drag and being able to clip one rope without increasing the fall distan...

Preferred Rope Lengths?
