I admit I have not climbed in years and I  think the whole 2 line thing sucks.. but trying to come up with a workable solution..  I get in some trees it's fine and often used to climb big trees with 2 ends or 2 ropes.. But can't see it working 90 percent of the time.

 

Could the second line be used a bit like another side strop. You could keep the tail in a rope bag clipped to your harness and just use it to ensure your always tied in at least twice. This emergency line could potentially be much smaller diameter..

 

It sounds like a ball ache but might be less if a tangle fest..

That’s the best idea I’ve heard re. this situation yet!

When trekking in new zealand I used to carry a rescue kit a few slings and some 6mm rope (I still use some to hold up the clothes dryer). I can't remember what it was but was strong enough to abseil off. You would need a suitable friction device.. if you tied it off you could use it like srt so would only need half the length then if  used ddrt.

 

Someone who still climbs try it and see if it could  work..

My first work climb yesterday with the two rope system.To cluttered a crown to throwline my anchors started at the bottom.Watch more time consuming.Once I reached the top it was just a case of planning my work route.More to consider and quite a fiddly pain at times.Will watch this thread with interest as well as any other information regarding this.20191205_101421.jpeg
