>>In fact you don't even always need the other rope - on sub-30/25m pitches >>you can use a single 60/50m rope as doubles by tying into both ends (and >>tie a knot into the *middle* of the rope). Once you're over half way on a 25 metre pitch, how do you lower down - what if you hit your head 5 metres from the top - you'll be stuck. 50-60m ropes are that length for a reason, and most pitch lengths take into account (among other things of course) that rope length. That's my main point - other things I don't like about it - two fat ropes through the ATC is going to be un-maneuverable if you need to react quickly, plus the obvious and less serious weight factor
