Check check and check again

[Dean Lofthouse]

As above, this was ok pre climb.

 

I checked it again mid job and it was knackered

 

No fast decent burning or owt. It had start freying unnoticed under the wraps on my VT.

 

So it pays to keep constantly checking your tackle whilst in use.

[Steve Bullman]

what cord is that?

[Tree cutter Stu]

ice ???

[Xerxses]

what cord is that?

 

White Arbor-bailing twine...

[David Humphries]

I think it looks like Samson Ice like Stu said

 

 

How long has it been in use Dean?

 

.

[Johny Walker]

looks like silky damage or have you got mice in your kit bag

[slack ma girdle]

Fair play, i have never managed to render my tenex into this state. It looks like it was nicked with a saw ??

:thumbup:

[Dean Lofthouse]

It is Ice.

 

No cut with saw, like I said the freying was under the knot out of sight and when I have measured it it is half way through.

 

It hasn't been used that much David. Needless to say I have changed my cord to another make now

[carlos]

does look a bit odd i used picese of tenex for months and they always looked worn but never frayed like that, still got a lock jack now so no dicking around with slipping or sticking prussic cord!

[Mark Bolam]

Get some AP Deano.

 

That's a bit worrying to say the least. I would have thought it was rated to 17 stone at least......
