Thanks again for the information about this trail Mikl- unfortunately I had to use it over the weekend, but it worked nicely.
(This time we bailed from after the traverse pitch on Hotel Cali because of wind and rain, managed to get our ropes stuck on one of the abseils, and got down in the dark. We spent the night in a shiver-bivy behind mirrorball and walked out the next morning.)
And yes, it occurs to me that I am developing an uncomfortable amount of experience bailing at Pierces Pass. |
