Hi evryone
I'm thinking to buy a new double rope 50 or 60m (edelweiss oxygen 8.2 or so) for the pipes, Arapiles ... and latter on for different trips including in Europe (which can be pretty heavy while travelling to have this extra 20m) . But I'm wondering which length I should take, according to a buddy of mine in France, a 2*50m is far enough, but I don't want to regret. By reading the the tassie climbing book, 60m doesn't look that useful. So any advice is more than welcomed.
cheers

We climbed up at Mad Monkeys yesterday and it must be one of the best little winter crags around now.
Great job re-bolting these (now) classic routes Roger! much appreciated.
Purple climbing shoes found at Waterworks Quarry on 27/06/2010, if yours come to the Climbing Edge Hobart and ask for Matt
