I would go the 10.5 and yes I think it will get trashed. I would'nt go the dry cover. The 10.5 will be just that little bit slower on abseil which is nice first up. Any of the standard ATC style devices will run a treat with a 10.5 (I have my own preference for the reverso3 but is it worth the cost?... I say yes). Careful as you are, you'll probably do just the same as I did and run it over all sorts of edges, stand on it, twist it, and generally trash it. Being careful is well and good but it all goes out the window once you get scared! |
