Would you bring a rope on a solo Europe road trip? 7-Oct-2005 At 9:02:47 AM dr_fil_good

So a double 70m system. Sounds goodah. I'm going to miss climbing trad :'( I almost feel like dragging my rack along with me just for that sexy feeling digging into my shoulders, the cutting of my circulation, the numb fingers, the occasional dodgy placement that gets the heart really pumping, the wrong choice of hex for a split that gets the arms really pumping, the constant jiggling of my shoulders to move the weight around *slight exaggeration!!!*

I'm kinda happy in a way 'cause it means less weight to drag around when trampin, troggin, and doggin.

What for??? Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the use of slings in sport and have racked my brain and can't think of any benefits (prolly 'cause I practically never climb sport).
