Multi Rope Rapelling Question	28-Feb-2013 At 12:23:42 PM	Tim_1964

Hi all, I am studying with a view to rigging up an 80m, single rope (rather than double) abseil at some stage in the distant future by joining two 50m 11m static ropes together. My question - what is wrong with tying a figure 8 on a bight at the end of each static rope (with a long tail) and using a couple of chunky, opposed screwgate carabiners to join the 2 figure 8 knots together? I ask the question because this appears to offer similar protection to the two screwgates used at the top of a top rope. Also, its clean, easy to check, simple etc. If possible please describe risks, hazards with the join. (by the way I just reviewed 101 ways to die abseiling lol so basics are understood.) Thanks : )
