I need to buy a pair of half ropes for climbing on some pretty abrasive sandstone in Red Rocks. I already have a Mammut Phoenix (8.0mm), but I'd like to keep it nice for mountaineering. One option would be to buy a Beal Joker (9.1) and an 8.5/8.6mm half rope. Does anyone have any experience on this kind of combination? I'd be especially interested if anyone has fallen on the thinner rope.

In reply to TonyB: i use a beal joker and a 9m mammut rope works well together then if doing ridge routes/alpine route i use the joker on it's own
