From reading the two ropes thread.....

[NickinMids]

Just when I thought I'd got my head round the terminology short hand

 

Can somebody confirm I'm not confused

 

Doubled rope...Rope thrown over a limb and both strands used as one for access/footlocking

 

Ddrt Double dynamic rope system... standard system utilising friction hitch to ascend and descend on an adjustable loop of the rope..with possibility of using other end of rope to have two tie in points in the crown

 

SRT Single rope top tied or base anchored for access using mechanical ascenders/fig of eight descenders

 

SRTWP As above but used with new fangled accessory allowing ascent or decent on same equipment therefore lending it's self to work positioning

 

DRT SRTWP with two ropes..?

 

If there's anything else please put me right

I think you've nailed it except DRT which I think should be:

 

DRT; SRWP or DdRT with two ropes/systems.

0 ropes = free climbing

1 rope = single rope technique

2 rope = double rope technique

1 rope doubled = doubled rope technique ddrt. (A specific style of SRtechnique among many).

 

The whole WP is Wierd to me because climbing is climbing. Work positioning is being stationary and working

SRT and DRT both use one length of rope not 2. I can see why you're confused.
