Hi Shayne, I would definitely recommend climbing on twin ropes when climbing ice, the main reason being, if you put your crampon through one of your ropes it doesn't mean game over. Half ropes can be so thin now that the additional weight is not much of a sacrifice. Thanks, Dave

Hey Callum! It's always a good idea to have a rope with you if you are travelling over glaciated terrain. Unless you have to do some technical climbing on your route, then i would recommend a very light half rope. Perhaps even the new rappel cord by Mammut would be sufficient if you were being extremely weight concious. Thanks, Dave
