The deep exploration goals and of Expo 2007 and large number of people coming on the expedition mean that we will need a large quantity of rope, more than the ~1400m which the club currently owns (rope will be purchased at the gear order between now and Expo). This page is still in progress but serves to help us plan and budget the use of rope and other gear. Thanks to David Loeffler for providing estimates.

Note that the 2007 expedition will attempt to be find a shortcut around Gaffered. However, as the vertical distance is the same, it is likely a similar amount of rope will be requred.
