What happened to double ropes? 12-Jul-2018 At 11:29:04 PM Andrew_M
Message
Doubles are the biz. Apart from dealing with rope drag, the security of having that second rope if one gets cut, and having double-length raps...

- More options for retreat or self rescue
- If you're a wuss (like me) and don't like being above gear then you can clip one while being nice 'n safe on the second rope
- You can have 3 in a party on a multipitch so that the belayer has someone talk sh!t with

For Pierces - either doubles, or "triple rated" (single/double/twin) paired with a double/twin works well. Clip as doubles or twins depending on circumstances.
