Which rope to bring? 8-Aug-2017 At 4:15:40 PM Justanotherdirtbag

I'm planning to come to Oceania from Lake Tahoe in mid November and climb in Arapiles, Tasmania, New Zealand and the Blue Mountains. My current repertoire includes trad (single & multi pitch) up to 19/20 and sport up to 22. I was wondering which rope and what gear would be the most appropriate to bring for this trip. I'm not exactly pressed for time, and will probably want to climb all the classics within my ability range (which I will hopefully increase while I'm here).

1 - I'm debating between bringing a single 70m, a single 60m or a pair of doubles. In the Tahoe/Eastern Sierra/Yosemite region, it's always nice to have a 70m single, but I don't want to bring that if you never need those extra 10 meters of weight in the areas I listed above.

2 - Will I need to bother bringing any cams larger than a #3 BD Camalot?

3 - Any tips/beta for being in any of those areas and climbing partners are also appreciated!

Thanks!
