climbing ropes come in 3 types: single, twin and half.
>singleas the name implies it's a single rope system, where you connect the rope to every piece of pro you set
>twin2 rope system where both ropes must be connected to every piece of pro. now redundant and not very popular due to
>half2 rope system where you don't attach both ropes to every piece of pro. most halves are rated as halves/twins so you can put one or both ropes through each piece of pro, as appropriate for the route. useful on wandering routes to decrease ropedrag.
twins and halves tend to be significantly smaller diameter than singles, though modern singles have gotten pretty damn skinny.
