Best rope?

[monkey boy]

poison ivy is the way forward lol carnt wait to get some after the dilemma a few weeks back

[Greenworx Ryan]

I have three ropes that i use for different things the Elderid xp jamaica, New england tachyon, and the yale poison hi-vy.

the elderid is a great rope for use with lockajacks, its got a harder outer surface so falls through far easier than the other two,

but I prefer the poison hi vy, if ya get chance to use it have a go, to work with its unberlievable compaired to the other two, and there both good ropes.

Samson arbormaster all the way here, good, hard wearing and supple too.

[WoodED]

out of interest what does everyone think the best type of rope is? What is your 1st choice of climbing line and why what characteristics make it your 1st choice?

Yale Imori

[RobRainford]

three strand is a good all rounder!

I can't tell the difference bought a new Yale rope other week and it was 15 quid more expensive than the the Yale ropes up to now the only difference is the colours haha

yeh me too....

 

please elaborate tom!

 

I climb with what i guess is the Ford of climbing ropes...the Yale XTC. Good all rounder with a decent price. Can't fault it at all. I might try the Imori (sp?) next time to see if a slightly smaller diameter makes a difference.

 

Lol

 

This rope

Its a good all round rope But once 70% of the rope is all over the tree it becomes very stretchy in the length

 

Hope that helps

I use imori as a longer rope for larger trees (smaller diameter= less weight etc) and Hi-V for everything else, both feel excellent although I was a bit surprised at how quickly the Hi-V started to show signs of wear.

Might be in the old school here, but have a few XTC plus and really like them, easy to handle, reliable and will do anything any other rope will.

 

However, I still occasionally go back to my old faithful arbormaster. Somehow it just feels more "my" rope.
