In this video I introduce climbing with two ropes. This is commonly done if you are climbing as a party of three. I talk about equipment needed for climbing with two ropes, including whether to use single, double, twin, or triple-rated ropes, and what diameter of ropes to use. I also talk about rope systems such as using parallel, caterpillar, and "free-snake" techniques. Methods for rope management are demonstrated. In part 2 I demonstrate how to apply parallel technique to a pitch on a milti-pitch climb, and how to attach climbers at the anchor so the rope feeds-out cleanly on the next pitch.
