I have been thinking about buying a single double rope to use by itself on easy routes where the chances of a fall are very low but possible non the less in order to save weight. Is this a really bad idea/suicidal? The routes would be alpine rock in the Tetons. Single day. 5 to 8 pitches like Upper Exum, CMC on Moran etc.

What ultra light double rope has the most cut resistance on an edge?

Sold

Sabretooths not available

What would be the best device for using 8MM ropes etc in this setup?

Charlet Moser Grade 8 with the Mono Point setup. I have climbed on them 6 times on easy WI3. They have never been used for mixed. Excellent Condition. Minor surface rust. Purely cosmetic. $35 for the pair plus $10 to ship Black Diamond Sabretooths. The original Cro-Moly set. Bails front and back. Used for 2 trips up Raineer via ingraham glacier. Have not climbed mixed. Excellent Condition. Minor Surface Rust. $50 for the pair plus $10 to ship.

I have a package deal that includes the following: 4 Single Length Trango Ultra Tape Runners-Never Used 4 Double Length Trango Ultra Tape Runners-Never Used See Them Here 2 Alpine Equalizers-Used on one climb. No falls etc on them. Perfect Condition. These are the 10' model that is no longer made and are much better than the 6'. This is over $100 of gear all in perfect condition. $50 for all of it plus $5 to ship it.

I have a bunch of 20M sections I can use for that. What I am really shooting for is the lightest single cord setup I can for really easy ground.

I know they used to make a reversino but I can't find one. Who else makes an belay device for skinny cord use only that auto locks when belaying a 2nd?

I have a 9.2 with a 6mm tagline for rapelling. When I made the tagline I was left with 40M of 6mm line. I thought that it would be good to buy a 37M double rope. I would only buy one and use it for really easy 5th class like 5.4 or less and 4th class stuff while pairing it with the 6mm tagline for rappels. Is this a bad idea? What would be the best 40M double rope to purchase a single line to do this? Of course I want the lightest one I can get.

What is the gunks mod?

On the website I see a 7.9 ambition and an 8.5 master. Where can I look at the smaller diameter Master?

On tendons website it shows the 7.9 twin/half as 40 GM/meter. Is there another one I'm not seeing that's 38 GM/meter?

Im looking at half or twin ropes. Who makes the lightest? It looks like the beal ice floss for twins and mammut for doubles. Anything lighter?

These slings are brand new, never used and I want to sell the slings as a package. You can see them here Dynamee Slings It is a package of 4 double length and 4 single length. I want $45 for all of it and I will ship it to you. Thats 40% off. I also have 2 6' Alpine Equalizers. 6' Alpine Equalizer These have been used 1 time on the CMC route. I used them to make 2 belays on each one. So they are used but you would never be able to tell. I want to sell them as a set for $50 shipped to you. This is also 40% off.

They are second generation crampons.

I have a filter, I have also used tablets. Filter=heavy tablets = wait 45 minutes or longer to drink What is the best way to purify water that is light and you can drink immediatly?

So I now have these sabertooths that I got for 40% off, never used. Dane, would you recomend that I go with something else for full price and sell the sabretooths? Or just watch them like a hawk? FYI I am pretty new to alpine climbing and a route like the middle teton glacier is about the extent of what I would climb for now.

I just bought some SS sabretooths. Now I wish I hadn't. I am thinking of ordering different pair of crampons. I will be climbing in the alpine (U-notch, tetons etc) and up to WI-4 in Utah. What pons would you suggest instead? I was thinking of Sarken Spirlocks.

I read in Twights book about leading on a 9.4 and having a rap cord in the pack, like a 6mm. I would assume you would join them with an overhand knot. My question is: How will it work on rappel? Will the skinny the difference between the 2 cord diameters cause the fat cord to have more friction so the knot migrates away from the anchor? My ATC says it is only good down to 7.5mm rope. Will this cause a problem, do I need to have a special belay device to do this? What else do I need to know?
