wirecore lanyard question

[Joe Loggs]

10mm that would scare the life out of me climbing on that! You got balls of steel

[DrewB]

Really bro? You will never break a 10mm 'decent quality rope' armour prus 10mm is over 28kN!!!

[Joe Loggs]

Mmm interesting. Do you not find it fiddley to find if ya get me? Also I don't think art rope grab can go down to 10mm.

 

Sorry for the derail boys

I love my Swedish Strop. Great for smashing through ivy, conifer and yes those beastly pops that require 2 clipped together.

FYI, those that have never tried it, a chainsaw tends to skim along rather than go through. Of course if one really wants to try it'll cut. A good ear will usually pick it though before the last strand goes.

When on really snotty ivy, I like the fact that it tends to lie in a straight line. It makes it much quicker to hack the ivy off with the 200 as I don't have to check the position of it every 2 seconds.

One can also bully it through lime epicormic, pigeon nests and squirrel dreys.

(It also has a rope prussik so can easily be cut in an emergency situation.)

I'm a little old school so prefer analogue systems to digital.

I use on for dismantling. Much safer than a rope ( if you don't believe me then try attacking a rope lanyard with a silky nevermind a saw) & makes working up & down the stem easier - easy flip on smaller & mid diameter stem

Interesting points folks. Thank you nice to get a broad range of opinions

Very well put....sums it up for me. They are certainly Robust and i agree with the rope prussick which i used to use with a New England Wire core flipline.

Never use one, prefer a rope lanyard, backed up by my main line below.

I use a wirecore. I have both, but I don't get the rope strop out much these days.

Back-up?
