sorry to bring this to the top of the page again

just thought i would have one more go at seein if anyone had any feed back on the ropes aboth

I've climbed on the hi vee and the edelrid. Personally I find the hi Vee better than the edelrid. The edelrid was ok but seemed to go very stiff after getting wet. None are better than the imori IMO

i have some of the Teufelberger tachyon hi vee stuff, i like it. but my main line is poison ive which i love, think i'll try out a bit of imori next though!

maybe i should try a diffrent angle the problem i have with imora is when i sit on my friction knot (eg just to cut a limb off 1 min max) it really bits hard witch is ok but when trying to pull the slack through when working my way back up the tree its real stiff and really hard to pull the slack through

do u find this is or is it just me

i like the rope how light it is just that my problem

maybe it is your hitch mate and not the climb line?

[Will Ayers]

sounds like you need to play around with your hitch rather than your rope?

 

what hitch do you climb on? is the rope really dirty? i think if you swapped ropes youd be dissapointed as you'd probably get the same problem if you keep the same hitch configuration.

 

that said my tachyon is quicker to run through the hitch as it doesnt fuzz up the same as imori or poison ivy do. but i think that is of little consequence realy.

 

id say play around with your hitch before replacing the rope!

[Steve Bullman]

what cord are you using. sounds like a cord combination issue rather than the type of hitch itself. You should be using a stiff cord with imori, something like roblon or liros is ideal. I'd hazard a guess you are using something soft.

rite here goes

iv tryed the 3 friction cords in the last pic and bee line. i thought pic would be easier to explain
