grillon/wire core??

[The Tree Hunter]

Obviously the wire core flip lines are better for spiking with a bit of rigidity, but do you use them as a grillon too or do you find they can be a bit stiff when up a tree and using them for change overs etc???

I use a side stop or 2.5m of yale blaze for normal climbing with gillion and daisy chain the slack up. When clogging down i use a flip line as they are just a pain for everyday climbing

use a 2m new england wire core wiv ics rope grab for everything. sweet.

i think you will find the grillion is not designed for a wire core line nor a line of that diamiter.

 

if you want to use a grab the petzle or isc micro grab workswell as do some other makes like tractel, but not the grillion.

 

if u are using a wire core line and grab plese make sure you have a soft link in the system for easy cut away in case of emergency situation

Amen brother:thumbup1: just had a client who had to sever that soft link and by god he was glad he'd added it in 2-weeks previous:scared1: I find that a micro sling is best as it adds in minimal extra length keeping your work nice and close.

I us my wirecore for everything too, but its the comet one and its way softer than most of the others out there. And way more expensive.
