Good luck and have fun, brian! Glacier travel, crevasse rescue, rappels. It is safer than a team of two (with an extra climber to hold a fall) and easier to manage than a team of four.

It is safer than a team of two (with an extra climber to hold a fall) and easier to manage than a team of four. Of course you can do the same with a pair of 40m's, but many rock pitches are longer than 40m. Travelling on a glacier is an exciting element of exploring the high mountains. 30m ropes are pretty worthless for all but the most benign snow slopes and glaciers.
