I've never heard of LSK ropes but the description looks ok to me.

Have you Googled LSK Ropes?

 

 

Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

Well Marlow do an LSK static rope, which I've used, but it didn't look like that. I'd wouldn't be happy buying a rope off ebay, and for the money you could almost get 60m of this, new, from a trustworthy supplier Equirial 10mm Type A static rope [sR-A-ST] - £1.20 : Starless River Caving Equipment, Technical Caving Gear from Starless River

I don't know if that's the actual name of the rope or just an abbreviation for low stretch kermantle.I asked if it had a CE tag on it etc.. but have had no reply,Mr squirrel that site looks good i can get the smae amount for around the same price,good find!

You can find new rope from a reputable supplier for the same price.

Abacus safety for example has 50m of 11mm DMM worksafe for £64. Beal antipodes can be found for around the same price with some searching and seems popular in industrial access.

 

I had some Mammut static line that cost £1 a meter so 66m for £66 pounds and was perfectly adequate for access work.

 

So I would not take a chance on some sone eBay purchase like this.

Mind my ignorance, I'm learning. When you say access rope are you referring to your climbing rope to initially access the tree?

I've bought a couple of lengths from him of the LSK rope 50m and 60m and it is fine. Good non-stretch rope and if you wait you can get it about half the price from a shop. Nothing to be afraid of.

Half price at the shop?

Yes,for single rope access then work with the standard configuration once im in the tree.
