Mathieu - Hey can I borrow your Rope?
Ken - Sure, go right ahead but its not a 60m
Mathieu - What did he say?
.......... a few minutes later
Mathieu - Errr Brian, this isn't the 5.9
Brian - Oh it will be alright
Mathieu - Hmmmm.
Brian - it looks fine I think the anchor is just over that lip
Mathieu - OK then,
Brian - Excellent, your lead..
Mathieu - ......
......... 4 bolts later
Brian - I've found the topo
Mathieu - Just keep belaying, k, and don't tell me how hard/easy it is.
Brian - (Starts whistling)
.
....... 12 bolts later at the lip
Mathieu - (muttering to himself) shisty I'm out of draw. BRIAN, I've got one bolt left and the anchor is another 5 metre.
Brian - wow that's a long route
Mathieu - secure!! (build anchor) READY TO LOWER, Errr Brian can you tie in...
Brian - sure, you don't think you'll make it down??
Mathieu - We'll see
....... 3 bolts to the ground (10 m off the ground)
Brian - Well I guess this is it. How are you getting down?
Mathieu - Just start climbing and i'll 'assist' you.
Brian - Yes but I need to clean and rappel, I'll never have enough rope,
Mathieu - your turn to clean.
