Hello everyone. I was hoping I might be able to get some advice..
I've only properly got into climbing this year but am having a blast. I bought a 40m 9.8mm rope for sport routes my partner and I have climbed indoors, in Portland and the Peak district but am looking to buy a new rope now.
Long term the majority of what I want to climb is trad in the mountains of the UK so I was thinking two half ropes would be ideal. BUT, I also want to keep climbing in Dorset - particularly on the longer routes so was considering a 60/70m single rope.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated on how you'd prioritise buying rope. For context, in the short to mid term, I wouldn't expect to be climbing any higher than VS trad and 5+ sport routes.
Thanks in advance
Mike
