Thanks for finally giving some advice guys. I got sick of the wise comments and sarcasm. So if a party was climbing the route and had to bail for some reason, bad weather lets say, they'd have to leave behind all that gear to rappel down? I would think a rock climbed as much as half dome would have stations or natural anchors to take advantage of

Yep. Convenience anchors are for wusses.

try rappelling the nose or zodiac You will piss more people off and the are already bolt anchors to the ground. You just need two 50m ropes although you might be able to do it with one 70m
talk to the mad rappeler too He lives near the valley and has rappeled el cap a couple of times and I believe he is credited with the first descent of the glacier point apron He's 60 or so and crazy ask bernie at the mtn shop about him

This has got to be a troll. The idea of rappelling any large face that has a walk off is close to suicide. If you want to do it for fun go ahead, run it out, but don't expect anyone to come get you when you crater.

I think it would be sweet and fun to rap down. Is there not a low rated route with low traffic that can get rappelled down? Seems more fun and faster than taking the crowded cables down, and the decent hike will be quicker too. I don't understand all the criticism of the OP. Relax and recognize others had different opinions.

I tell people I'm reverse-rappelling when TRing at the crag. It causes confusion, which can be amusing. The crowds at said crag are repelling, however.

So um, mouse? Are you a hungry fish this morning?
That lure was first trolled through the water eleven years ago, and caught a huge number of fish on the first page.
But then the line broke. The lure has been floating on the surface, ever since. Or maybe it was stuck to a log on the bottom of the lake. Until junglemowgli found it, and tied it onto his line.
But mouse - there you were, swimming around, the lure was barely even moving, trolled at like half a mile per hour - but you just COULDN'T resist hitting it! [If real fishing were only so easy - real fish seem smarter than half the people on an internet forum]
I sure hope there aren't any catfish swimming in your lake!

Warbler- if one were to do that, what would you rap? Wayno would love to do snake dyke, but his gout wouldn't let him get all that hiking done, so we were talking about alternatives??

I think I might have climbed with crazyazid in 2005 or so. Are you still around here? If I'm remembering correctly, he was the one I had a blind date with on Piece de Resistance on Moro Rock. We had our asses handed to us and bailed after 3 pitches.

Rap the South Face
He should start with a bit smaller repel.
Maybe the SW face of Liberty Bell. If he can do that he's ready.

hey mouse,
since everyone was so involved in proper spelling, did you mean moron or moran?
Moran (Irish: Ó Móráin) is a modern Irish surname and derived from membership of a medieval dynastic sept. The name means a descendent of Mórán, translated as Big One. Morans were a respected sept of the Uí Fiachrach dynasty in the western counties of Mayo and Sligo.
Are you calling everyone the "Big One", or idiots?
