Wisdom needed — Is a 40m rope ok for Integrity and Arrow Route on Sron na Ciche?

cheers!

In reply to pnorth:

You should be fine. Integrity can be split a bit earlier than the guidebook says. If worst comes to worst, you could probably belay again short of the top.

I did integrity in 3 pitches of about 80 feet each. There were people around trying to do it in 2 pitches and finding that 50m ropes did not reach (my) second belay at an obvious ledge.

Not sure about Arrow Route, depends on where you leave the easy break of Collies and strike off up the slab.

Thanks both - much appreciated.

Gordon - we met when you climbed a few years ago with the school club down at Harrison's and then came for dinner afterwards. I was one of the staff members. You might be interested to know that I now run Hill Side, and have encouraged as many boys as poss to read the copy of Fiva in the house library!

Cheers 

Patrick

40 is ok for those. Enjoy.

Cheers, Patrick. Of course I hadn't realised who you were. Thanks for comments.
