>>2730136It's a good story. Sounds like it worked out for the best. I'm in Boise so I climb at City of Rocks every chance I get. It's everything it's cracked up to be, imo. I was there last weekend with some friends from the gym. We camped out in the snow and I brought my friend up his first multi-pitch. It's a 5.8 but the last pitch either traverses hard left into another 5.8 route or goes straight up into a 5.10c mixed trad/sport pitch to the top. I didn't read the route description closely enough and we almost had a real adventure... fortunately we noticed something was off after a few bolts and I was able to down climb.
I highly recommend the City. Feel free to hit me up if you ever find yourself out this way and need a partner. I'm definitely jealous of your location though... spent a week in Vegas recently and the sandstone is so good. Probably the best climbing of my life.
>>2730152I think the point that you were aiming for is that with twin ropes the force of a fall will be often be distributed between two pieces, instead of everything on the top piece. This is more important for cams than bolts.
