poison ivy vs Tachyon..

[Dilz]

My Poison ivy rocks, but at 45 meters its a bit long for small trees, my short rope is dead, long live the new short rope...but rather than just get another length of Pi im interested in trying out something different, and the tachyon had caught my eye, though i am tempeted to just grab 25meters of Yale xtc as its cheap and good (my first climbing rope and the old short rope). Im interested in Imori, but not sure who flogs it, my two usual uk sources as of yet do not.

Tachyon for me. Tried PI and in comparison it's bouncy!

[Theocus]

short rope then pi is great, i have a long 40m of pi and it bouncy but that can be an advantage some times. The Tachyon is great, also have that in a long rope and it brill. horses for courses.

[Dilz]

how does the tachyon feel in comparison - one thing i like about the PI is that it feels almost like a 13mm rope in the hand.

I have both and but think I will be getting Tachyon next time

[James Atkinson]

why do you say that cl3525?

[Rich Rule]

I really like P-hivy but I only have a short 25 m length of it. My 50 metre rope is Tachyon.

 

I don't think I would like the P Hivy any longer. Even though it is nice in hand I reckon it would be too soft and bouncy if longer.

 

Besides I really like the Tachyon.

Im glad this thread popped up i was going to ask the same question. Cheers Dak. The PI can annoy me a little bit with my SJ on it, mainly the bounce seems to stop the free feed sometimes.
