30 metre rope ok on Dorsal arete?

Thanks

You’ll need to do lots of short pitches obviously. I can’t remember how long our pitches were but don’t recall anything being crazy long.

Might be worth asking on UK Climbing too as you’ll get more climbing folks there.

It can be very busy so either go on a week day or be prepared to queue.

With a 30m rope your best tactic might be to solo everything apart from the crux arete section. Pitching everything will be slow and frustrating to any teams behind you, and moving together without runners is arguably more dangerous than soloing!
