Climbing Rope Advice?

I would say go for it. The extra £50 will give you increased versatility. If you want to get out at some point and you purchase a 35m rope, it will necessitate the purchase of another 60 or 70m rope. 70m's are nice, but only if you really need the added length. Most pitches can be done with a 60m, so the increased weight (and length that has to be untangled/managed on a multipitch route) is actually a disadvantage. Best of luck. Happy Climbing!

yes, a 60 meter rope is definetly worth the cost. In more places, a 35 meter would be very immpractical for outdoor use. Also, a 60 meter will last over twice as long in a gym because you can use both sides, then, when the tail wear out, cut them off and still have a useable gym rope. If you have any aspirations of climbing outside, get a 60. Ask around about local climbing areas to see if they thin a 70 meter is appropriate. Most places its just extra weight, but some areas its crucial

If you plan on doing outdoor climbing, especially sport climbing, a 60m rope is a must. Most sport and trad routes are designed for at least 50m ropes, so if you only have a 35m rope, you will be far short of the anchors and it will make climbing slow and tedious because you have to do so many extra pitches. Yes it is worth the extra cost.

That very much depends on where you are climbing and what climbing you are doing. If you are leading then the more rope you have the more you have to carry. if you are on low crags i.e. the peak then half of your rope wont get used but if you are top roping then you will need the extra. if you are heading out into the mountains or on cliffs then extra rope is always a good thing. just be mindful of the height of the rocks where you are climbing and the setting up at the top and carry enough to do the job
