If you are worried about the heat issue, get one of these. V-Twin by DMM. Made out of SS and never gets warm on long ass multi-pitch raps:

Chief... so your saying your device dose not get hot because it's stainless steel?
How does that work?
Friction is friction.
Friction makes heat, the heat goes someplace, in this case the hot device burned the sheath.
just saying

I love my V-Twin. It NEVER gets warm..NEVER!
Alum doesn't dessipate the heat as quickly as the SS.
Go here and learn why SS is better...

I guarantee you that if a device is over 250F you are not going to be able to touch it, with or without gloves. And I don't think that was ever the case. I then have to assume that the sheath on a skinny rope melts way below the 250F mark.
