> What is the rock like going up with the cables down? Pretty much the same as when they are up? Meaning you go over the same path as when they are up?
The rock was better! All washed clean of the dust of a thousand hiking boots, so I definitely noticed the better grip. I looked for the polished effect between the holes for the posts, and it was just not bad at all.
As for the path, without the posts you can move laterally a few feet, so you can pick an optimum path. I used that to move left or right to find a little ledge/step to rest once in a while.
