American caver Bill Cuddington, known as " Vertical Bill ", further developed the single rope technique ( SRT ) in the late 1950s.

Single ropes must sustain at least 5 such falls before breaking, and a rope that can sustain more than 9 falls is considered a'multifall'rope.

Many basic caving techniques ( e . g ., the single rope technique ) were developed in Hellhole's 154-foot ( 47 meter ) entrance drop.

However in most cases a single rope or ladder is used for the entire drop, so in practical usage'pitch'has become synonymous with the terms'drop','pit'or'shaft '.

Overall there is a huge variety of climbing ropes available for different purposes; for instance, there are well over one hundred different dynamic single ropes ( the most popular rope system in climbing ).

The test falls use an 80 kg weight for single ropes ( 55 kg for half ropes ), and a fall factor of 1.7 ( 4 meter fall on 2.3 meters of rope ).

The original Grigri is rated for 10 to 11 mm single ropes, while the newer, smaller Grigri 2 is rated for 8.9 to 11 mm single ropes and optimized for 9.4 to 10.3 mm ropes.
