Trad Rack for Araps 13-May-2005 At 3:44:21 PM armyiain

Message

Thanks for the help everyone. Back yesterday from my Araps trip (wish I was still there...nice and quiet, sooo many climbs to do). I found that 2 sets of nuts and a half set of cams (.5-3) were enough for most climbs. I only just ran out of draws at the top of the second pitch on conifer crack, so I'd say 10 draws is enough. Definitely going to buy some with adjustable lengths to avoid rope drag. It was a great trip with only one adventure - starting up Decibel (15) instead of D Major! My own fault...not a big problem - we topped out on the bugger despite a nervous moment or two on the crux.

Also - anyone else feel that Tantalus is a bit undergraded? Or is it just me feeling the exposure? And before someone asks - no, I didn't start up Surface to Air.
