How do you know that your daughter will ever climb 5.12 six pitches off the deck several years from now or is that something you would like to do. How do you know she will want to climb anything. Sorry that you take offense to my line of questioning but it still stands. What rope to buy is the last thing you should be asking or better put you shouldn’t have to ask as it is such a simple matter.
End-roping is the ultimate solution to you daughter must climb multi-pitch before becoming ten. It is how most guides around here deal with bringing up two clients on moderate terrain that you describe.
The pilot thing is meaningless to me. I have seen (real) brain surgeons belaying off their gear loops. I’ve had CEO’s of major corporations unclip from the anchor 10 pitch’s off the deck and stand on the brink of death for no explained reason other then they thought it was something I wanted them to do. I have learnt that education is no way to measure intelligence. Common sense is far rarer then most people think.
Good luck, I have spoken. From where the sun now stands I shall speak no more.
