"best simul-rappel "
that's anchor-free simul-rap, right?
How hard is it on the ropes - did you see any major sheath damage?

yes, and no I did not see any damage to my ropes. They did not move at all. I have done much worse things to them in the rockies. It was fun, we had three people so one took a photo of us doing it, but he is not an SP member and I don't add other's photos. It was not a big deal, just something different so everyone talks about it.

photo! Looks like a great climb. Sorry I can't tell much from this photo, but is that bolted? I would guess its not since you simul-rappeled. Just wondering....

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
