| The guidebook (seems) to indicate you can rap Borderline at Squamish with 2 ropes - eventually using alternate anchors off the route.
Anyone have experience with this?

| if you only want to do Borderline...I'd say you're better off climbing it to the Crest and then using it (the Crest) to escape into the North Gully and walk down. A single rope should be fine. Check the McClane guide for escaping off the Crest.
I'd think that the traversing on Borderline might make the descending tedious. |  |

| We climbed and rapped it on Sunday. The rap was actually very straightforward. P3 of Borderline required a small traverse at the end of the rap, but the ledge makes it easy. We then rapped to the terrace and did the standard terrace raps. |  |

| great, there you go then! : )
did you tag a rope for the rap? was the 11c pitch dry? |  |

| Climbed twins. I didn't do the 11c option on Borderline (should have though), but it looked bone dry to me. The entire climb was dry. |  |
