Yale Cordage Launch New Climbing Rope

[Ross Beaumont]

once cracked a joke at college when the teacher asked me how offten do i milk it. (him meaning my rope). i replyed my bird milks it everynite .

[Danavan]

I've milked about 30cm of the end of my 45m line. The problem I have with the line however is that it twists like a mofoker all the time. I am using an 8mm armor pruss with a H c & a knut.

 

Dose anyone else have this problem? as I am loathed to use the rope as it is. Any suggestions as how to alleviate this problem would be greatly received.

Whan you have finished climbing, pull the rope backwards through the trree....i.e dont pull the shortest bit through, but all the stuff on the ground that you werent using if you get what i mean.

[Danavan]

I have tried that a few times with no avail. Do you think it may be because I coil it back into my bag in no particular style that may be a cause? should I just go old school & coil it around my neck in long lengths with a little twist of the wrist for each turn?

[tommer9]

No i dont think that has anything to do with it.

[Danavan]

ok thanks, guess you don't find the same problem then. thanks anyway.

[tommer9]

NO i dont get that, I am trying to think why it is giving you so much problem.

No doubt someone who actually knows what they are talking about wil be on in a bit to help lol.

[Danavan]

Emmanuel Goldstein where are you? I'm sure that such a luxuriant beard that holds so true & straight must hold some answers lol..

[Rich Rule]

are you using a swivel...? and how are you tieing the VT / Knut?

 

I found with a VT the swivel does exactly as you mentioned. Also having the top line going under the lower in the top braid helped a lot. Don't know if it translates to the Knut though. I have been climbing on the Knut for a few months now and all fine on my Imori line and Tachyon.

[Danavan]

I have the top line under the lower if I am interpreting right? on the knut & on some occasions the knot dress dose look as if it could contribute to a twist in the line on decent. But I also get a twist on hanking my rope for a branch throw at even short throws of say 4m or less. I worked on tachyon before this buy & had no prob's.

Thanks for info I will look at different knot config's. Oh & no I don' use a swivel
