Flinders Lane rap anchor (Araps) 4-Apr-2012 At 5:21:01 PM jezza
Message
What was surprising to me at the time, and prompted starting this thread was
- I can rap off Morfydd, but I could easily walk down Alis and back up the hill from the top of Morfydd

But to come down from YoYo and loads of other excellent climbs I have to
- walk down Flinders Lane (away from my gear at the bottom of YoYo etc)
- down slab, through cave
- down Alis with everyone else
- walk around Fang/Plaque/Bard etc.
- walk back along Tiger to my stuff

It just seems odd. That doesn't necessarily imply 'lazy person with a bolt gun'. I figured there must be a good reason. I'm not convinced there is a good reason. The reason seems to be 'It's not needed', but that reason could apply to loads of other anchors.

Anyway it doesn't really matter. I just down climbed Alis and raced back to my gear in 90 seconds, all while standing on my hands and being shot at by Simey.
