In reply to Subterranean:
I have a second SRT kit for the very same reasons. I use very light kit throughout and was using 8mm dynamic for cows tails. I got this from a set of double 60m climbing rope that I cut for 35m and 20m +5m 'tat'.
However, I now use the Petzl double sewn black 10mm. It's got a name, but it escapes me just now. I switched because the lack of knots makes it very neat, and it's good to have the extra strength. I am aware that knots add shock absorbency, which the sewn rope lacks. [well, the rope itself is dynamic, but the sewing won't give like a knot would.]
The Petzl offering is pricy at £25.
I have the second length of 8mm dynamic that has been down a cave once and used for a hand line on the very first bit of Roaring Holes. It had a couple of folk pull up on it, but not full body weight. Other than that it as new.
If you get stuck I'll swap it for 5m 10mm dynamic which I'll use for the wife's new cowstail +spare. Drop me a PM
