Switched to 6mm Liros today, loads better.

 

I loved that but it wore out after lasting a long time.

Where do you get it from?

Well, my 40th has arrived today.......and so did 60m of kernmaster 😃 The HH is totally different on it compared to my last rope! Before it was great, now it's blooming wonderful 😀

It's 13mm Yale xtc Al. I thought it'd be better on a thinner rope but didn't realise how much! I could only get 60m from a shop if not heard of before because all the usual ones on here had run out of the 50m until after Xmas!

Oh yeah, 11.7mm from 13mm is a world apart!

I was just about to get a length as well but my truck needs the money first. The wife will get a length instead!

Haha! A thin rope seems to work better drt too, must be the decrease in friction over the branch. It's nice having loads less stretch now and the kern also flows through my pantin loads better.

I made a proper loop to attach to the top of the Oxan. I couldn't be bothered to stitch it so I just used whipping twine to make tight loops an used a rubber carabiner corner trap to hold it at the top of the carabiner.

 

Much better than clipping my chest to the bridge ring because now the advancement is better.

The stiffy (patent not even bothered with) a stiff 'other leg' tether for advancing an ascender... Cos I find foot loops and hand ascenders tedious !

Enjoy

Sorry.. Meant to post the above in the srt thread !! Oh well :-)

The pulley pictured above allows removal of ropewrench to switch to drt when required, without dismantling the whole system. Short tether pictured on Carib is for the return spliced end Carib.
