My fellow guides, Carl Johnson, Richard Howes, and I guided an ascent
of South-West Ridge of Pinnacle Mountain today, August 26th. The
route is in good shape, but the "old, fixed, fat hemp
rope." (Selected Alpine Climbs in the Canadian Rockies, page 126) has
unravelled and frayed away to 5 meters of binder twine ... guess that
you just can't get 100 years out of rope anymore.

Happy trails,
