Brian, yes. 60m is good for the right side and also good for the middle with an extended anchor of about 6 feet.

I am planning on bringing doubles for climbing horestail this Sat and thinking of roadside on Sun but would prefer to climb single 60m at roadside if it is doable. I checked out roadside a few weeks ago when I was up there for the first time, but it was at the end of the day and really didn't pay very much attention.
