    Mountaineering Etiquette Question

    When two rope teams come together traveling in opposite directions, which team has the right of way? The uphill traveling team or the downhill traveling team? Is this the same for individual climbers as well?

    Kyle,

    I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm sure someone on the board does.

    Try asking your question in a different forum. Maybe ski/snowboard.

    I think if both roped teams are there for the same TGR summit, the first person to produce change for a nickel should have the right of way.

    Beg to differ... the group with a leader sporting the LS 9000 clearly has honors.
    Damn, we're in a tight spot!

    True - but unless I miss the mark, I believe it was a benevolent JONG -= as in, Summits ~ Climbing... sorta giving the guy the benefit of the doubt... a kinder, gentler JONGing if you will.

    Sort of talked about it here http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=52659

    In Europe you just keep walking until you bash UIAGM pins. Then smoke cigarettes.

    Definitely well done. Much better than the Dougal Haston biography. Now working through the matched pair of Tilman bios.
