How you finding it?

[Mark Bolam]

Pretty easily I would imagine.

It is very easy to find, indeed. Pull it up the tree too fast, and you hypnotise yourself.

Yeah, first impressions, incredibly stiff. Im assuming this is just the way its designed, but it is not a "knot-friendly" rope (pun not intended).

True to its description as being just an access or SRT rope, it is rather good. And indeed quite static. Its not a "grippy" rope, so took a while for the prussik to get itself sorted, but after a wee while, works beautifully.
As said, the only bad thing about it, is its stiffness, but thats what its meant to be i think.

No milking, genuinely static even with a base anchor, works lovely with a VT and RW, after 2 days, i'm rather liking it.

As a pure SRT rope, one to reccomend.
