ATCR1 Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I am in need of a new rope, since my older 9.6 modified one has ben retired. I am looking for a single rope, dynamic, Dry 9.6 or bigger but only 30m long for glacial travel and crevasse rescue. I don't want to have to chop a 60m in half again, and i don't want to use a 2 rope system like most 8mm on the market recommend. I have only found one online store who will cut my rope to the desired length, but its not a dry and thats what i would prefer. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks Quote
DirtyHarry Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Most rope manufacturers sell 30m ropes for snow hiking, I mean mountaineering. You can find them at most gear stores. Quote

Thats what i bought and then returned. A 8mm x 30m The problem is that this is the only diameter avilable in a 30m length and its for hiking. It cannot take a fall into a crevasse, or anything of the sort. To do so they recommend using 2 ropes, so i'm back to square 1. Quote
