Hi All,

Just after some advice. Will be going on a trip to Bluestone Bay this weekend with a couple of friends and was just after some rack advice from the more experienced among you. We'll be mainly climbing the beginner stuff on Lassies Wall and hoping to climb some of the easier routes on White Water Wall esp. Alpine (in two pitches). I've got a basic rack with BD cams 0.5 - 4 with doubles of the smaller four sizes by DMM, One set of BD stoppers and a bunch of alpine/quickdraws slings etc. Will this be adequate or should we double on stoppers? Not really a fan of huge run-outs (tongue) Any advice would be welcome as we haven't climbed out there before and haven't lead trad on granite at all!

Cheers,

Mani

    i think that would be enough for the white granite. Generally the routes are shorter so a big rack isn't a necessity. Small wires can often be handy. The big belay ledge on Apline takes a #3 and some medium wires. Stuff on lassies is all fine on single rack, including building the anchors above. Have fun man!

    Rad info thanks Simon. What sort of size small wires? Might grab a couple of extras before I go to be on the safe side (smile) I'm that excited (big grin)
