Flip line

[Dax]

Looking to get a flip line, any advice pros cons etc.

[bob]

i personally prefere the yale 3m platinum range with an isc swivel

we have had every flipline within the teams and this is imo the best

the only drawback to it is i have ended up with 5 inches of bunching of core at the end which is dissapointing

 

the new england ones the core is only held in place with shrink tubing and when getting worn if you use a vt and took a slip you will go a fair bit further than you want

[Ross Smith]

make your own bro with a vt on a pulley.beautiful

run mine with an isc grap and its great

I use a komet 3m at the min and am pretty chuffedwith it. As others have said building your own can be advantageous,one of our other climbers has made his own using a new england flip line with the isc grab and a swivel crab,got to say i like it more than mine.

i use a 3-1 vt as an adjuster. the new yale platinum ones look nice and will be the next one i buy. whatever you get, try and get one with a swivel on the snap hook/krab

[bob]

i use a positioner on mine most of the others have rope grabs of various makes and sizes big is better on grabs

[John Shutler]

i never had one up untill about 3 months ago, never really thought it was essential, but now i love having it. i have a large isc krab on the end held in position with some rubber bungs,it does the job but would look neater with a krab/swivel combo

3.5m split tail with ISC grab and Mongoose on eye end. Runs easy and big Mongoose is simple to work with cold fingers. Remember your stopper knot!

3 m yale with a petzl macrograb works fine for me
