How do you climb?

[Heads up]

18mtr blaze, 37mtr tacyon/bluemoon both with XT+ hitchclimber. 7mtr long fly lanyard with ART positioner off the lower Ds on the treemotion, even for chogging down.

never found the best length for a strop started with 3mtrs, went down to 2, then 5, 3.5, 4, 7 now thinking of going back to 5:001_rolleyes:

Mainly on 30m Blaze with VT and hitchclimber and a 2.5 ish m Blaze strop with VT and micro pulley. System works consistently wet or dry, well generally, until the rope get covered in algal slime off sycamores.

At work i use main line 10 m strop both on prusicks and/or 3 m flip line with a ditsel

 

at college both ends of rope and rarely the flip line.

Wow. Thanks for all the replys guys.

 

I'm really into my climbing and do it whenever i can at work and every weekend without fail.

I use a 37m, 11mm Yale Blaze with a 9mm Marlow friction cord (VT) w/ the Hitchclimber brass. Which i use on my Centre D and a 5m, 13mm Yale XTC 5m strop with a 8mm Marlow double braid (distel) w/ micro pulley and snap hook on the other end, which i use on my side D's

 

I did have the 11mm Marlow Aeris line but stupidly got it snagged on the chainsaw dangling below and pulled . Lovely Rope! Still got it about 30m left but no Eye . so its just sitting in my kit baqg at the mo as i haven't decided what to do with it

 

Also gonna swope my XTC strop with a wirecore one just to be a lil bit safer.

 

I'm a huge fan of toys and gadgets but im also a fan of keeping things to a minimum and simple lol. So im trying to get the best of both worlds

Dont swap your strop for a wirecore strop. Get one as well. You only need the wirecore strop when you are taking down a pole and cutting above your strop in case you slip.

 

When in the canoy you dont need a wire strop and it is better to have a soft stop that you can switch between your side d's and front attachment.

 

I climb with a Vt hitchclimber set up on my main and a 5m lanyard with a Cinch adjuster. I swap the cinch lanyard for a wirecore flipline with a vt adjuster for working on spikes.

I disagree, I never use a wirecore, just use my main line as a back up

1 rope, 1 split tail, 1 harness - keep it simple IMO
