How many haul bags?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Mountaineering : One Thread

New to big wall climbing, it seems that there are differing opinions on hauling one massive bag, versus hauling a couple of smaller bags. What is the norm, and advantages/disadvantages of each- aside from being able to split the load easier on the approach?

2 haulbags get stuck easier, but provide easier acess to gear. Steep route easy hauling, bring as many bags as you want. Route with bad hauling, maybee easier to haul with less haulbags. H
