anyone tried this rope?

[bbtarb]

hello, was just wondering if anyone has any experience of using this line. looking to use it mainly footlocking but also srt access. any good/bad points to consider?

 

HB6P - Teufelberger Patron Tree Access Rope

The low stretch Patron 11 treeACCESS is perfectly suited as an ascent rope and is certified to EN 1891A. As a result of its 32-strand braided sheath made of high-quality polyamide, this low stretch rope is ideal for both single-rope technique (SRT) and footlock ascents using rope clamps and friction hitches.

yeah its ok bro, i find it a bit stretchy for srt (but im using globe ) and ok for footlocking. i like the vibrant colour and if left as an access line, its highly visible.

thanks for the reply mate, when you say stretchy is it noticeable when footlocking? i dont like too much bounce really. the globe is nice stuff but expensive yeah?

[DrewB]

yeah globe is expensive but damn its static and great for srt. the patrons good as you could be rescued by any climbing style, srt,footlock, modified fl, hip thrust, etc.. my favourite footlock rope is velocity, i find the little bit of bounce actually helps me get a rhythm going and its light. i havent compared them next to each other though (patron v velocity)

yeah i had a go on the globe at a comp and it was really nice, kinda caught me by surprise though and i ended up missing some locks but that was definitely my fault and not the ropes! are they both hardwearing? (globe and patron) good point on the rescue though
