Save some weight and cash and just quit using a rope.

I think a 60 is fine at the pins.  It is good for getting of most routes.  In reality a just about anything can be lead with a 50 but the 60 allows greater flexibility.

Dry treatment will help it hold up against the mud n crud.

I kind of wish we had bought a 70m rope now that every time we go to Yosemite, we go cragging at Cookie.

Oops, did I just say "Yosemite"?  :winkagain:

 My 70m dry rope comes in handy everywhere I've climbed with it... Yeah, so that's only five routes in the past two years...  :)

And on Denied, you couldn't TR it from the bottom cuz the chains were too high. Or maybe the route is too long. We need standard 100ft routes.

I'd be curious to know if it'd help on the balconies. I hate trailing that 2nd rope.

Don't matter anyhow for now. I pissed my $$ away on a new PDA phone. Now I can post up while on the train.

Sigh. The layout of this forum makes posting from my PDA a pain. All of the buttons below are squeezed together. I thought this was a windows friendly forum.

What's the shortcut to reply?

Anyone ever posted from the high peaks? Munge?

Sigh. We don't own a PDA with a data plan. Only important people own those.
