I have a set of 7.5mm double/twin ropes, which is already scary thin and as twin the thinnest limit for most regular belay devices. As doubles, I’ll need to grab a different belay device.
I have used Edelrid's flycathers 6.9mm rope. It only comes with a package with the microjul belay device. Scary to belay with such thin rope.
But a 6.5mm as a rap line is actually thickish. Altough the others are not suitable as twins.
- Mammut RAPPEL CORD is 6.0mm
- Petzl RAD LINE is also 6mm
Just beware than these super simple skinny ropes require a special belay device suitable for such a thin rope and rope wear is a bit of an issue.
