The tachyon's nice IMO. Have you looked at the Marlow Aeris too?

thanks swamp..

 

the tachyon is nice my mate spliced himself a quality work posistioning strop with a lenght if it.

ive looked at the aeris,but the last marlow rope i bought,was not impressed with the quality,the outer seemed slackish to me (eg,when on desent,would gather below prussik)

i think new england and yale are better quality

 

thanks martyn

I've not had that problem on mine, I've found it to be quite a nice rope. I don't think it's very easy to splice though....

I loved the Aeris but found the splice (factory one) would bind in my cambium saver when I was recovering my line. Pain in the butt. The tachyons cool though.

Good choice..... I love mine along with my Pantin!

You'll be needing that Armor-Prus Eye2Eye I promised months ago then to go with your new rope 😳

Totally forgot about it but will finish it this week and get it in the post to you. PM me your address mate.

All ropes the same and any one who says otherwise has spent far to long thinking about it, get what you can afford and looks pretty, If it can hold your weight it does the job

Thats a bit like saying all shoes are the same or all cars are the same ropes can effect every aspect of a persons climbing and working day and like most things in the world its down to personal preference I prefer a thinner double braid.

 

Your comment seems to have come from ignorance or slight annoyance at someone starting another thread regarding rope?
