Perhaps this has been a dry year as there was no waterfall so the lasso-Tyrolean was unnecessary....
Wow - I can't imagine how you get past that little zawn without the tyrolean, Duncan. Do tell more!You will, of course, have to go back and do the tyrolean for the full, authentic experience. Part of the fun is finding the natural thread which you use to retrieve your rope - which is hardly obvious (unless there is a piece of tat already in it, which there wasn't when we did it).And launching out along the rope above the waves, hoping that the knot which you hurled into an assumed crack (which was completely out of sight) really had jammed properly, was a memorable moment.
Have you done Guernica?
Can you belive some folk do it by abbing in?
... We climbed the left wall 15' or so, stepped across where the zawn walls meet, then climbed back down on the other side. ~VS 4a accounting for perma-slime.
I was, of course, momentarily disappointed to have missed out on the Tyrolean and I still have no idea what you are supposed to lasso even after having climbed past it.
Tempted by Guernica now, which gives me a chance to atone for the lack of lassoing, but I'm not that long into the latest comeback and yet to crack E5 again. Can the pegs be backed-up?
