For those of you that do this - how is your rope-setup? Do you go for one rope with knots (if snow) One extra rope, or do you keep the ends of the knotted rope in coils for rescue?
Looking for a safe and efficient setup that we can practise and use.

- Well more than 3 persons on a rope is of course preferable, but not always possible to round up a party like that. Traveling unroped should of course be considered when conditions allow for it. We are beginners and tend to be a bit on the safe sideBut from the questions I take it you're not planning to do that anytime soon.

Un-arrested fall to the left would have been a huge step back, but not fatal. I remember going uphill, there was quite a drag from the rope. Think it was 30-40 m to my friend below
