Re: no rope?

I did Liba, but I have done over a 100 of these type ridges and climbs solo....my partner, Raphael brought one and I carried it for him through the cruxes in case he needed it, but this is him here downclimbing on descent no worries. He has a lot of experience as well, but the unknown on this ridge prompted him to bring it. I don't do near as much of this as I use to...mostly doing what I did with you now days, rope and gear....off to the Underworld with Zach today which will be the last crag I have yet to visit near St. George. Lets hit RR again when you get a few days. Cheers.
