I have four sets of climbing ropes. All are marked (1/2) for the size and are 60 meters long (196 feet). I purchased them and used them a couple times and decided climbing wasn't for me. I am doing more canyoneering now. I am asking 210 dollars plus shipping takes all ropes.
First taker gets a large Harness with it.
If you have the smaller canyoneering ropes (Static) to trade, I'll do that too.
These ropes are dynamic.
Here is a description of the ropes..
Half Ropes
These are a great option for long, wandering routes. Whether on rock, ice or mixed, half ropes offer many advantages. By alternating clips, you can limit rope drag. You can also limit the fall potential during a clip by pulling slack in the rope that is not running from the closest piece of pro. When it comes time to rappel, you can go twice as far by tying the two ropes together. And lastly, two strands of rope reduce the odds of your lifeline being severed either from a leader fall over an edge or from rockfall.
* Ideal uses: Wandering multi-pitch rock or alpine routes that you will need to rappel or might have to retreat part-way through.
* Shortcomings: More time and energy consuming to use due to the extra bulk and weight with two strands and while managing belay transitions. If you clip both strands to one piece of protection, the impact force goes up on the pro and on you (this is not recommended, especially on weaker gear).
