What are peoples thoughts on using a set of 8,6mm half ropes in the blueys (multi trad)?
Is 8,6mm (38% sheath) too small a DIA given the coarse, sharp nature of the rock?
I've used singles as doubles in the past (9,8mm w/ 40% sheath) in the blueys and a set of 8,6mm half ropes (38% sheath) at Araps, though, ironstone, sharp corners and coarse rock play less on my mind down there.
Would love to hear an opinion from those with experience.
Cheers in advance!
