So I give a ride to this guy carrying a long pole. I asked him if he were a pole vaulter.
He replied-
"No, I am not Polish, I am German, but how did you know my name was Walter?"
30 meters of 8mm climbing rope (about 100 ft) is a standard size for skiing and glacier travel when going light. I also like it for 3rd class terrain and early season
crossing of hard packed snow gullies.
