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.
