Ropes: You will need to fix rope before you start heading down the canyon. There was some debate in our group about how much rope is needed to fix. We used a 77 m ( 253 ft. ) rope that reached from the rim all the way to the canyon bottom and the next short drop below the exit. To be safe, I would recommend a 50 m ( 165 ft. ) rope for the first drop, plus a 30 m ( 99 ft. ) rope to fix from the bolted anchor half way down.

For the canyon proper, I would recommend two 25 m ( 83 ft. ) ropes, two 5 m ( 17 ft. ) ropes, and a 15 m ( 50 ft. ) rope. If the fixing above also fixes the short drop after the jug out, this will be all the ropes needed to reach the end of the canyon from the exit jug out point. You will need to fix ropes in the bottom half of the canyon so it is important to have enough rope.
