Gear

• one 60m rope lead rope (Scott's? it's middle-aged, but doing okay :-)
• one 60m static rope (Scott's)
• 5mm zip line???

• an A5 double gear sling, with some modifications
• two aiders each
  • more is okay, if you prefer
  • Scott is taking two and a half.
• two jumars each
• a grigri each, for belaying and shortfixing
• kneepads, leather gloves
  • Scott can provide two sets of kneepads, but not two sets of gloves. Do we need to find another pair?
• shoes for the descent; lighter is better, for the sake of the haulbag

• the rack
  • we'll decide this later; sometime when we have all our gear in the same place
  • got Yossi's pulley

  • 2 yoghurt containers full of pasta, with cheese and sauce and extra olive oil
  • 2 or 3 tins of fruit for desert
  • lots of bars/dried fruit/nuts
  • what else?

• haulbag (Scott's)
• 2 synthetic sleeping bags
