Wet vs. Dry rope in Squamish
Wet vs. Dry rope in Squamish
Hi all,
I'm a rookie climber now living in Squamish and in search of some advice on my first rope.
What I plan to do: cragging, occasional multi-pitch.
I'm on a very tight budget and am wondering what the consensus is (if there is one) on ropes in Squamish-- is a wet rope even feasible, or will occasional surprise rainshowers accelerate wear to the point where a dry rope is a better investment?
Cheers.

Dry ropes are for ice and alpine climbers. No need to waste unnecessary $$ on the dry treatment unless you're heading into the mountains.
