I guess you are talking about 'The Perfect Extraction'??
It's not really a 50m abseil. We put knots in the end of the rope and could just touch the ground with the tip of the toes while abseiling with a 70m rope.

Be careful though, the top of the route as a few loose rocks / boulder and holds in general tend to break of so bring a helmet for climber and belayer!
Cheers,
Andreas

Yes I was - problem?
I presume you're indicating the ATC-style device doesn't lock up the thin rope very well due to the thicker rope. Interested to hear more.
Funny you should mention it though, I was thinking the disparity was maybe a little large and thinking about getting something thicker as a second rope.
