Double/Twins

Double ropes (sometimes called half ropes), are a type of climbing rope used in situations where climbers might encounter wandering routes, traverses, or where protection is spaced widely. Great for many routes at Mount Arapiles They are thinner and lighter than single ropes and are designed to be used in pairs, allowing each rope to be clipped separately to different pieces of protection.

Twin ropes are a type of climbing rope designed to be used as a pair, typically clipped into the same pieces of protection as the climber ascends. They are thinner and lighter than single ropes. Typically used in ice climbing and alpine climbing where reducing weight and maintaining a minimum diameter are crucial.
