Rope

[Treestumptom]

Hi guys

 

I’m looking to buy a new climbing rope, I currently climb on a zigzag with a Yale Hedera. I’d like to mix things up a little and go for something new, what is the best, most smooth running rope to pair nicely with a zigzag from another arborists experience.

Drenaline is good you're always running a pulley in the top (ie ropeguide or pulley saver)

It's 32 strand so if you're running it through forks etc it wears really quickly. Also if you're using spikes with it be real care, it's no where near as sturdy as a 24 strand that can take a bit of a knock and your can pull stands back into place.

 

Personally I use "naughty" donaghys cougar. But I've found cousin atrax to be super nice in the zz. Also yale limelite is pretty nice.
