>Congratulations on your 10th placing in the climbing competition
Thanks a lot! 10 place - not good result :). But i'm hope win in future :))

>For people like me who cannot read Russian
We think about translate in part baurock.ru on english, but it's too many work and time... we not professional translaters :). Site is made by enthusiasts, and not have sponsor.

Standardly we use ropes in length of 50 meters.
We use in the length of 60 or 70 meters less often.

>this would effectively halve the length of abseil
this would will divide lenght of rope on 3. From eath to sling (1/3), from sling to eath (1/3) and from eath to slig again for link (connect?...?) end of rope with sling.
Sorry for my bad english :)
