I’d choose single rope over double ropes almost every time, but that doesn’t meant half ropes aren’t useful as fuck in certain applications. I see gritstone Brit’s rocking two ropes all the time. Definitely reduces drag a ton. Another good resource is this:

Feeling pretty good since a grade 3 AC separation in January. Looking forward to some time in Yosemite soon and trying my first real deal big wall. Any summer plans ya dirtbags?
