Somebody had a special last year, or maybe it was Summitt themselves. It was a kit with 3 of the 30 foot ropes in it at a decent price. Buy them that way instead of individually. I'm sure it was Summitt. For gosh sakes, they're not that expensive when you consider they could save your neck. You can run all over heck to save what...$4 bucks???? You're worried about the gouging mark up on a $30 piece of equipment? It's all in your mind.
