Leading pitch two of Physical...

Leading pitch two of Physical Graffiti. Shirley (in the circle) is belaying me from belay stance atop pitch one. Notice the beautifully colored sandstone (November 30, 2002).

a stupid question?

Looks like you are trailing 2 ropes from your lead back to Shirley's belay. Just curious about purpose of 2 ropes?

Re: a stupid question?

You're right. I'm trailing a 9mm rope in addition to the lead (10.5mm) rope. Basically, we weren't sure about how the descent was going to go - thought we might have to rap the route, top pitch of which is 160 feet long.
