This comment interests me as I'm trying to decide what to do about ropes for a big trip next year. I'll be sport climbing in France for a long time but also doing some big multipitch climbs in the Alps and elsewhere. I'd like to bring only two ropes but not sure which two. I was thinking a 60 metre thin-ish single rope for sport and double it up with a 60 metre even thinner double rope for multipitch.
Will I need a 70m? Should I just suck it up and carry three ropes (uurgghh) or up the length of the thin single? |
