Use twins then. Safer, and surprisingly, lighter. Just made a quick calculation, Tendon 10.5 rope 68g/m (9.7 61g/m)+6mm cord 23.2g/m came out at 5472g for 60m combined (5052g for 9.7 rope+cord). Tendon twin/half rated rope 38g/m came out at 4560g for two of them. The double rated ropes are marginally more expensive, but you get the benefit of having two ropes which are actually rated for climbing, yadda yadda. Get twin ropes, preferably ones that rated as are halves too. You'll never know when will they come in handy :)
