50 works for many routes, but 60 works for 99%.

if you are doing any trad, you may want two ropes... some require double ropes for the rappel.

One 60m would be adequate for 99.9% of trad routes in the Red, you just may have to get creative, or may have to walk a few yards and not rap the route.
I climbed for over 10 years in the Red and got by with a single 60 the entire time.

Climbing 10 years with a single rope? Probably time to retire that rope and get a new one.

Miguel has great prices on ropes, and an awesome selection of ropes.
