Climbing gear required at freycinet, tasmania 14-Dec-2012 At 12:39:04 PM barney800

Hi,

I have similar plans to those robbio had a few years ago for this coming Christmas (and am really looking forward to it - Freycinet looks ace). Most of my gear queries have been answered above, but could anyone offer advice on ropes? My choices are a pair of 50m ropes or a single 60m. I'm leaning towards the 50s for flexibility (plus they're dry treated) but am wondering whether an extra 10m might be handy if I decide to do one of the big, grade 15/16 slab climbs. It's quite possible I'll take a look at the slabs and be scared off though, I only really fancy it if the climbing's not stressful.

Cheers!
