Hey Ben, we used a 60m dynamic which worked well and pretty sure we had some spare. One of the absolute best.... enjoy!

Hey Ben,
There is a double ring bolt anchor on the mainland and we rapped on grigris to the base on a single 60m rope and trailed this to the top for the tyrolean. The rap is probably about 50m but take a 60m to be safe.
At the base there is a big ledge on the mainland side. You will need to swing from this ledge to the belay bolts (fixed hangers from memory) at the base of the totem pole. I found it easiest to sit with my back facing the totem pole and push off with my legs and then try to clip the bolt on the totem pole with a sling.

to add to this, i just got the guide book and it recommends a set of C3's, is this absolutely required (ive only got a C4's)?

Hey, just wanting to get some beta on getting to the base of the tote. How long is the static line you need for the rap/tyrolean traverse? thanks
