In reply to IainMunro: my first attempt at the end of the month, so a question about crossing the Couloir as a group of four.
I thought if we cross as a two groups of two, looking out for each other, that'd be the best way?
I've got an 8mm 30m rope that I was planning on taking with me (as my pairs main/only rope), so if I crossed on that as one pair, clipped onto the wire - what is the best way to do this?
I'm assuming:
Clip into the wire with a screwgate (on a fig8 ?), tie in myself with a overhand and crab, the rear person tie in the end or again with an overhand or and crab (storing any slack)?
What length should I pay out for the wire, i.e. how high is the wire above me at its greatest distance? what should be our spacing?
Bit of a daft question (I'm sure I could rock up and work it out) - but its been playing on my mind and I'm be grateful for others experience.
cheers.
