DdRT and DbRT are horrible. They make it difficult to discuss climbing. Tree Machine suggested the alternative of MDRT (Moving Doubled Rope Technique) to replace DdRT because the ropes tail moves as you work, and SDRT (Stationary Doubled Rope Technique) to replace DbRT because the rope remains stationary as you climb.
This works much better, I for one can now visualize exactly what each acronym is referring to; whereas with the old system it always takes me a second to interpret the meaning.
Clear, concise communication is key to any successful discussion or instruction. I think this change would go along way towards clearing up some very muddy water. But it will require some work on the part of anyone who is interested. An established nomenclature is very difficult to change. A lot of people need to see this, and read through it, and make the decision to switch over.
A quick post to show your support would be great, a PM or Email to someone else would be even better. And someone really needs to go over to the buzz and bring this up. I’m a little scared because I don’t know anyone over there, if anybody wants to take on that responsibility please let me know.

Thanks for your time.
