60m 6mm static rope for glacier travel/ ski mountaineering, should I cut it?

Recently got a good deal on a 60m RAD line style rope. I plan to use it for general ski mountaineering, and glacier travel while on skis, or on foot, usually as a party of two.

Having done more research, and from my general use it seems a 60m static does have plenty of uses, but 40 or 50m is more popular for teams of two on glaciers, and in the past I have used 30m's for general skiing. I won't carry a 60m 'just in case' but I would definitely carry a 30m while skiing.

So the question: Should I cut my 60m in half and have two 30s, and could I tie the two 30's together to form a 60 for team of two glacier travel? Leaving me with essentially the best of both worlds?

UV light for pet urine

I own a property management company, I need a way to quickly detect pet urine in carpet, walls, or other surfaces.

Ideally this would work during the day with the blinds drawn, heck it could even plug into a wall if needed.

Anyone have suggestions? I'm tired of tenants leaving behind pee stained carpet for the next people. And no, you can't always smell it, and especially not after the carpet cleaners have gone through, but then a month later on a hot humid day....

Thanks all!
