Ryan Jenks on Instagram: "How many strands do you need to hold 2 people? Core strands hold most of the force a rope sees. This 10 mm Beal Spelenium has 12 core strands. With the Slacksnap UTM we are able to maintain a specific load. 2 strands held 2 kn which is a two person load (if they don’t move too much!). When we got down to 1 strand the force was too great and it broke. All core strands are intact with every rope you buy at https://hownot2.com/collections/ropes."
