In August, there are a lot of thunderstorms in the Sierra Nevadas. If there's a chance of rain, what type of gear do you bring along?
I have various slings, webbing, nuts, short ropes, etc, but I'm not sure what to bring. My 8-mm rope, which is 80 feet long, weighs 3 pounds. I also have a 6-mm rope which is 50 feet long.
