Mt. Thompson rap anchors?

by Steve Larson » Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:03 am

I've heard rumors of a rap route somewhere, but not sure if this is true, or where it might be. Anybody know anything about this?

Info on current conditions is also welcome...

Steve, I didn't see it myself, but was told a couple years ago, that someone installed rap anchors down the Knudsen Couloir to ease the descent from Mt. Thompson. Again, someone said that someone said....but worth looking into.

Seems that I did see some there. But, I would much rather rap the Harrington than the Knudsen... Rock fall!

Steve,
I climbed the Moynier couloir last year and rapped down the Harrington couloir in five 60m raps (brought double ropes). The rap stations are on both sides of the couloir. Bring webbing and/or cord to reinforce them. Going with Bill?
