Hey Pierre,

I hope you enjoy your trip to red rocks. It's important to remember the culture of the place you're going to climb in. Fixing ropes on a climb like that is not normally done at that area.

However, I'm not trying to tell you what to do. If you do fix ropes, please make sure to fix them in a way that they do not interfere with the climbing.

I'm not a local there, but I assume most people that climb the route are traveling through. They will most likely think it as an abandoned rope and take it down. If you fix a rope to it I would suggest staying on route or base of route till the very end of the day then going back there early as possible the next day

la plupart ne pensent pas une corde fixe est abandonné et voler, mais il vous voyez ici ne sont pas de bonnes personnes. mais en général, la corde n'est pas en reste sur la tour de nuage ..... une note sur la corde pourrait aider ainsi que d'un jour de la semaine . mais il pourrait encore être volé .... désolé , escalade n'est pas ce que c'était.

Question - if there is just one rope left, I could see that being looked at as "abandoned".

What if there are a series, linking up the first several pitches. Wouldn't most climbers recognize that as a set of fixed lines for some purpose?

Hello

I plan on making placement of rope in middle of week since less climber on crag. I thank you for french translation but i wish to not hike rope since very long walk. Rope should only be up week most but again i invite locals to run laps if want. Plus I am here alone with no partner for now and leading on solo don't want to climb pitch many time. If sendt then no worries. I finish and move on to next one

If want to use my rope, feel "free"

is rainbow wall red dihedral pitchs able to reach with 4 rope?

Pierre: il te dit que ta corde risque de disparaitre si tu la fixes et que tu ne gardes pas un œil dessus en permanence. Et même dans ce cas tu risques de te faire pourrir si une autre cordée essaie de grimper la voie avec ta corde et ton matos en place. Personne ne fixe aux US à part au Yosemite et sur des voies plus conséquentes. C'est l'éthique locale et tu trouveras toujours un connard pour te piquer ta corde et se justifier au nom de cette éthique. C'est débile mais en ce moment c'est la mode. Maintenant que tu as annonce que allais fixer une corde tu peux être sur que quelqu'un regardera aux jumelles pour voir si la voie doit être nettoyée de ta corde... Et en profitera pour pourrir un peu les Français et leurs attitudes quand ils voyagent et se croient chez eux...

Anybody else notice that Pierre uses poor English but also knows the term "run laps?"

Pierre,

Tout d'abord, pourquoi êtes-vous fixer la corde en premier lieu? Cela pourrait apporter de la clarté à la situation. Est-ce que vous filmez? Êtes-vous corde solo?

Si vous fixez votre corde sur le crux voie de la Cloud Tower, il ya une possibilité que cela sera volé. La pratique dans les États-Unis est que les gens assument la corde a été abandonné. Peut-être que vous pouvez laisser une note jointe à la corde à l'ancre indiquant que vous préparez le voie pour un projet. Les gens sont moins susceptibles de voler la corde et ils verront que la corde a été laissé là avec intention. Je ne suis pas 100% sûr que cela va fonctionner.

First, why are you fixing the rope in the first place? This might bring clarity to the situation. Are you filming? Are you rope soloing?

If you fix your rope on the crux pitch of cloud tower, there is a possibility that it will be stolen. The practice in the united states is that people assume the rope was abandoned. Perhaps you can leave a note attached to the rope at the anchor stating that you are fixing the rope for a project. People are less likely to steal the rope and they will see that the rope was left there with intent. I am not 100% sure this will work.

Bon courage!

Maybe we should serve some cheese with all this whine

Translations thanks to Google.

Nous devrions peut-être servir du fromage avec tout ce gémissement

Tal vez deberíamos servir un poco de queso con todo este zumbido

Poate ar trebui să servească niște brânză cu toate astea se văita

Možná bychom měli sloužit nějaký sýr s tím vším kňourání

多分、我々は、すべてこの駄々をこねると、いくつかのチーズを果たすべきである

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
