Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

That may actually be a good thing. See, I'm heading down to RRG for about 4 days, and the people in my group aren't nearly as "gung ho" as I would like for them to be. I'm hoping that Caver's can be a good mission to do on an off day. In my opinion, if you have 4 days to climb, there's no room for an off day...

so why waste one on caver's route...everyone knows this is considered scrambling, ant not climbing, so please refrain from using the word" climbing" when discussing this hike.

My beta:

Just take shoes, chalk bag (with belt, so you can swing it to the side), one draw, one locker, one atc and one rope (though it might need to be 70 meters to get down from the ledge in one rap). Any more gear will just get in the way.

Yeah, might need one of those as well. But, mostly just for getting down.

You can make it down with a 60, but I'd just downclimb...
