Hi folks.
I've had Tower Ridge (Summer) on my to do list ever since I first read about it.
What kind of equipment is advisable? Would a 30m rope, a couple of slings and some nuts cover it?

Thanks for any help offered.
Regards,
Mike.

In reply to Tigger: Yes

Yes.

A medium hex (or two, depending what sizes your nuts go up to) might be useful but a handful of wires should be more than sufficient gear for most people.

In reply to Tigger:

Brilliant, thanks for the reply. Just need to convince my climbing buddy to come with now.

In reply to Tigger:

Yea, if its snow free a 30m single will do you fine. You may only want to use it on the first bit out of the starting gully and the onwards from the eastern traverse. 3 x 120 slings with screws, couple of big wires/hexes as engineer said is spot on. If you tuck in behind a guide you'll not get lost and keep good time too. Start early, it takes 2.5 hours to get to the foot of the starting gully.

In reply to Tigger:

I'd also Include a useful nine Hex, and half a dozen slings, couple of big ones for spike belays/runners.
