SJ and Poison Ivy

[Tom Cook]

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?

[Ollie Wall]

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

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

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.

Yeah I've used imori with the SJ and with hitch climber n I can't stand it lol

ahh Kool that's interesting to know because my other rope is tachyon and that was gonna my next option:D

[James Atkinson]

yea poison ivy is real good with spiderjack, i use tachyon personally, but it is harder to grip, kinda wish i had bought poison ivy haha, but there all kinda the same with there own benefits and drawbacks
