Last Min Darrans Advice (New Zealand). 16-Dec-2012 At 6:57:01 PM bjorniam

So a few quick question before we fly off on Tuesday to 2 weeks of climbing in the Darrans of NZ.

1) should we pack a #5? Pretty heavy but in 400m of crack systems may well come in handy.

2) whats the frequency of finding carrot bolts, I read they exist over there. We have packed 8 between us.

3) triples of number #0.75, or #1 would be overkill right? Again 45+ m pitches over 400 m total could suggest it be useful, but I suspect we'll just have to harden up and run it out some more?

4) what do we do about 'number 2's'? is it alpine enough in the bivy sites to require a pootube?

over and out.

ps sorry for new thread but seems the old thread was removed somehow...?
