PEP RRTM manual recommends:
- 4 x 60 metre 11 mm low-stretch rescue ropes
- 11mm low-stretch rope for anchors and edge lines
Getting 1 extra 60m gives some flexibility with our existing two 60m's.
3 x 15m gives both edge and back-tie options.
Might be cheaper to buy 2nd 60m and cut to 4 x 15m or 3 x 20m.
previous pricing $450 for 2x60m. Or net $3.75/m
