4 out of 5 stars Rope recommendations

I'd recommend a 70 meter rope, as a 60 will get you to some stations with stretch. Also, take as many small, medium, and large beaks and small arrows as you can carry. A 200 foot nailing pitch takes a ton of gear, and there are some 200 foot cracks that never get wider than a #2 lost arrow.

Also, At 5'4", I found that the rivits were still 12-18 inches away when I was in my top steps. There are probably 600 feet of rivits on this route, so its a huge time-consumer if you don't have a tall partner or a dialed system for dealing with this.

-Kate.

5 out of 5 stars Favorite el cap route

This was a great climb, with no awkward sections at all. Take many black diamond peckers, especially medium and large. Prolly had 12 with me in these sizes, way better than beaks. Beware the Place of Dead Roads. ;)

5 out of 5 stars Nice climb

Nothing too terrible. Soloed 17 pitches, led 18 of the route. Some nasty fall potential, take a lot of BD peckers, small medium and large. Parter was PTPP who led his share of the crux pitches. (I took 15)
