double ropes 50m or 60m?	22-Apr-2009 At 7:00:03 AM	wombly

Climbing mostly in th bluey's on 50m doubles (8mm) i've not had a single moment when i've wanted an extra 10m going up. Even at that lenght and weight the drag at the end of a long pitch is horrendous, as is the amount of gear required to protect such a long pitch. There's been a couple of occasions that the extra 10 m might have been useful on the way down e.g. being left hanging 5 m above the ground after rapping in the wolgan - but i can't say i'd really want to drag around the extra rope for those very few occasions - maybe 1 in 100 days on the rock.
