Will single 60m do the rappels? Plan is up and down North ridge
Thanks

In reply to John Kelly:

I would say yes. We climbed on half ropes and by looking back at the photos, we only used one of them to ab. I can't remember whether they were 50m or 60m but the answer is still the same, a single 60m should do the job.

In reply to John Kelly:

Yes, no problem.

In reply to Scott Kirkhope:
Thanks Scott and Bullwinkle

What's objective risk like, taking a youth, reasonably fond of the boy

In reply to John Kelly:

Honestly don't remember any issues other than other climbers about. We used it in descent with no problems. This was 5 years ago though.

In reply to Scott Kirkhope:

Sounds unexceptional which is perfect for what I'm after
Thanks for your help
John

In reply to John Kelly:

did this in descent last year after climbing the face. 1 ab with a 60 was fine followed by a little bit of down climbing/traversing back to easy ground, it was very straightforward (going down anyway!)

In reply to John Kelly:

Yeah I recall there is 2x30m abseils? Might even be one, can't remember.

In reply to John Kelly:
Thanks alex and ebdon

In reply to John Kelly:

Not sure which is the N ridge but I soloed it years ago and descended easily by the ridge that connects it to the hillside. Don't remember any abseils so if there were any they were minor. Can't remember what ropes, if any, I took with me.
