I just used a S.j for the first time yesterday so i have nothing to compare it to..But i used Yale Blue tongue...when limb walking it is frictionless and flies through the device..a lond ascent with a Pantin is easy and the rope doesn,t feel as if it,s stretching at all..Gripping it is hard but i,ll master it...Descending fast is incredible!....The Ropes visibility is second to none...

we should have a Spiderjack day down south so we can compare rope/spider mods etc...a rec climb.

 

Sounds like a plan to me we can make our own spiderjackery video lol!! You gonna be at the Capel Show?

 

Iv been running pi for a year now with my sj and it's brilliant but only fault is after the rope is fairly worn it seems like it has puffed out, plus the foot pantin loves to pick away at it. The tachyon and velocity seem like a much tougher rope.

 

Yeah I think that's a poison ivy thing mine is quite puffed out n barely used had it for bout a year aswell. Yeah that's the next test is use it on my tachyon!!
