Has any had any experience of this combo is it good, bad, average? I've got poison ivy and would rather not buy a new rope as I bought the poison ivy not too long ago.

 

Also what ropes are you all using with the SJ?

From what I know of climbers and their rope preferences. If you like poison ivy you'll like it with the SJ. I reckon 11mm feeds easier into it, but thicker ropes don't need as much below it to self-tend. Try it, as soon as you've gotten used to the SJ you'll make it work well with your rope. At the end of the day, it's just a rope.

I'm using PI with my spider. I personally prefer it over Tacyon and surprisingly find the clutches last longer. I find the rope is easier on the hand. Hope that makes sense ! Cheers

I use mine with Imori, works very well IMO, which I think is a very similar construction?

 

PI and Imori are totally different.

 

I used PI in my Lockjack and it was good. One of my guys uses Imori in his SJ, I've used it and it isn't as good as the PI and in the wet the Imori is horrid.
