Hey Karl, what is your go to lightweight rope for your adventures?
For Canyoneering I’ve been using an 8mm x 60m. It has lasted surprisingly long. Many years old and no dings. It is a 1/2 rope & dynamic rope designed for a double rope climbing system. Static would be better for repels only. It is much less friction when rappelling compared to the standard 9-10mm ropes. I always use a “toothed” ATC with it and stay focused on my break hand!
Right on, thanks! Always good to see what folks are using out there. We have traveled much similar ground. Cheers from Ouray!
