I turned up to a Large beech reduction early last year, client had a "tree guy" in to do it before us, but he hadn't finished. He'd knocked a few low limbs off, then put a brand new Stein rigging ring half way up, and apparently gave up.

 

When i got there about 3 months later, there was the rigging ring, half a climbing line and a cambium saver still up there. the cambium saver had been tied in a knot onto a limb...

 

I used the climbing line as a light rigging rope, chucked the cambium saver in the shed, and regularly use the rigging ring. Personally didn't fancy using the cambium saver or the rope, even though they'd probably be fine (got a fimblsaver anyway)

 

your rope after a year, for the money it costs, id just relegate it to light rigging duty

I'm a bit intrigued to the circumstances that would cause an ART ropeguide and a rope to be left in the tree for that length of time. I do remember a redirect pully being left in a tree for a few months before we climbed it again and found it. I'd be dubious of using those items again to be quite honest with you. Unless they were bought brand new on the morning they were left there, they will have made their own cost back so I would lean towards just replacing them. 

Art was al tangled up in tree.

Agreed with client he could do the cleanup first.

Then he got ill, afterwards i broke my wrist, and then we forgot about it😅

I still stand my ground, most load bearing is in the core of the rope, if its kernmantle construction, for last 10 years I newer seen arb rope not kernmantle. Wanted of examples of non kernmantle arb  rope, that I can buy.

All specs are in public domain, also explanation what is kernmantel rope construction also there, check the strength of core in N, not in mass percentage, in last 10 years I seen only one rope, not kernmatel it was Yale, can't remember fancy name of it. So I am out of this from now. 

Many arb ropes are 16 strand, where the core only serves to keep the rope round and  all the strength of in the cover.

 

You're talking bollocks basically
