I'm bidding on some Factor 130s on ebay that I think I can get for cheap http://goo.gl/CtdwV , but I'm still a bit unsure about the size. I've been wearing Scarpa 27.5s for a while now, can anyone...

Any suggestions for a 30m 7mm dry belay rope? I want it for doing things like putting someone on belay while cutting cornices, occasional ski belay or short rap etc.

thanks very much for the responses, hmm a lot of different opinions. I feel like the power wrap will be a bit much, not sure beyond that.

I don't mind buying two of them if I have to. I may...

Thanks those were helpful er all except one lol.

It looks like there's less gliding done in general than I thought, even the racers don't do much of it. More like fast walking. A lot of completely...

If you know of any videos that illustrate great technique for skinning could you please post them. I haven't been able to dig up much.
