Pardon a potentially stupid question, but why do you lead with two ropes? I've only seen this when you have 2 followers
Hi. Not a stupid question at all. Those are called half ropes. They are commonly used in trad multi-pitch climbing and alpine climbing. Usually in trad climbing, you cannot place the pros in one straight line (except if it is a single crack all the way up). The idea is to always clip the other rope on the left side and the other rope on the right side to reduce rope drag. You can find more info for example here: www.vdiffclimbing.com/half-ropes/
@@mkclimbing Thanks! This was very helpful and I learned something new!
What features in the rock beautiful
You're absolutely right about that!
How many meters is the ropes ?
I think they are 60m. Not my ropes so I'm not sure.
@@mkclimbing You are climbing pretty far between the belays, so i was wondering if it was longer.
Me and a friend want's to climb this route this summer. I hope I can mange to grow some bigger balls and do it 🤣🤣
We simul-climbed the first three pitches, so that's why it looks like that. It was like 150m in total.
There was like one harder part in the upper pitches, but the rest was relatively easy climbing. So no big balls needed 😂
@@mkclimbing so the ''crux'' is in pitch 12 right? -the route in general and the crux is not hard for the grade?
