Your ropes a bit fatter and sturdier in the gym? I guess you could bring a couple of gym ropes pretty easily. Not sure how I'd approach it; whether or not I'd trust one rope or tying in. If you're high up, you could pretty easily tie a stopper that stops you from bouncing off things and trust the traxion. Maybe a second rope for rapping back down?
