No before but after I went to do an overnighter in the Pine Valley Wilderness Area. It was supposed to be a loop involving Whipple Valley over to Browns Point but snow south of South Valley would've been miserable to hike especially with how out of shape Iam and how the elevation was affecting...
From what I can find, you only need 100' of rope which is 30 Meters. The drop itself is 40 feet so 30M is great. One guy says 50' of webbing (seems a little extreme) The pictures I can find above the falls looking down make the anchor look like its right over the drop, which means its probably a...

i dont have the time to chime in about the other stuff but if you are in the rocky mountains, get a steripen for water filtration. The water in mountainous areas is very clear and plus from experiences ive heard from others sawyer squeezes break down quickly. If you are unsure of water clarity...

its technically non technical, its just a really long stretch of class four according to what ive seen, however its steep class four. No anchors of any kind, so rope probably would be like a mountaineering short rope, not very useful unless you have perfect circumstances. Others can probably...
