Rappelling Black Dyke

Post by fiddich » Thu Oct 31, 2013 11:44 am

How feasible is it to rap Black Dyke from bellygood? Are the roofs too large to rap past? Any advice on getting through them?

Cheers!

With cunning and a long enough cheater stick anything is possible. I haven't been on the route, but I imagine you could back-aid the roofs on bolts; if you're looking for company and tech support, I could go on an obscursion later this month.

p.s. have you seen the El Cap survey? Wild stuff.
