South Six Shooter???

Do you need two ropes for the South Six Shooter? I don't want to lug two ropes if I don't have to. Can I lower the entire route with a single 60-meter rope without being forced to downclimb?

Thanks

According to the comments on South Sixshooter South Face, one 60m rope is all you need to rappel.

Yup, one 60 meter is all you need. Tie knots in the end since the last rap is long though. The others are chip shots, with enough features for the knot to get hung up on that you wouldn't want to try it with two cords.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
