In my case a build up of gunk had caused the top link to become sticky.
 
I have switched back to a Blake’s for a lot of work as I got pissed off with the self tending when I didn’t want it.

Crikey, Blake's? Not still got a hitchclimber pulley in the bottom of a bag somewhere?

No, don’t think so.

Doesnt look very worn ( I would expect wear on bottom regardless ) - we had a notification on the 'sticky spring' thing 6 months ago . Still using same rope throughout its service  ?   K


Spring is good, have always checked that after the climber who fell because of it.

Think I’ve used two different ropes on it now and just bought some Black Widow to try out too. Tried washing my current one to see if it fluffs it up a bit.
Rope often feels a bit square using with the zig zag...
