For a 3 of the popular routes (.5 .7 and a .9), they have the wide Metolius bolt anchors - all you need is webbing/static rope, something to protect over the edge and some lockers. On others, you can usually sling a tree, though on some we've found it nice to have a couple cams and nuts. however, depending upon how many routes you wanted to do, you could easily get by without the pro.
For some of the routes it helps if the webbing static is 30+'. Some routes you can get by with less. |
