I'm heading Tuolumne at the end of the months and it seems for a safe retreat for most routes need full rope length rappels.
I don't have twin/doubles but just a single 9.6 and my partner has a similar sized rope as well. I climbed with two full sized ropes once before and was not a huge fan because of rope drag/weight. So I am debating if I should buy a small tagline (7/8 mm) to carry up with us and then just pull out for rappels or just suck it up and use the two full sized ropes.
Which routes are you thinking of in particular? I have climbed a lot there and am struggling to think of routes that had mandatory double rope rappels.
If you already have a 9.6 single..get a 6,7 or 8mm static tagline. You will use it, maybe not so much this trip, but in the Valley for sure.Or the Desert,or...
A 65m x 7mm is pretty light and not to $$..you can go 75m as well
