Snakebite is pretty static, maybe not as much so as 10mm AP, but it doesnt cost as much either. Globe is supposed to be pretty damn static too.

Been using dynastat from beal 10.5 mm for some time now and it works great.

Both EN 892 and EN 1891 !

The beal 10.5 is basically Antipode which is sold for caving ie static. This is very good value and can often be picked up for little more than £1 per metre.

Snakebite aka Sterling HTP, I had a go on Globe some Liros dyneema and another no stretch line. Maybe it's a personal thing but I do not like these dyneema lines they are to harsh and unforgiving. Where as snakebite seems to hit a sweet spot for me very static feel with just enough cushion.

 

Another thing to consider the dyneema lines as far as I'm aware are not CE rated or approved for anything but recreational climbing, not that I'd have an issue climbing on one just would not buy it for my own use.

Yeah I know what you mean mate but I'm getting a snake anchor for a shock absorber and with something in there I think (correct me if I'm wrong ) that absorbs fall force you can use them in a work situation .

Don't forget the dynastat is static and with a fall it will become dynamic. That's why it is certified for both EN numbers ;-)

It costs some more and handles nice.

@ Q-tip wait till you try 10mm AP you will see the difference. i have no issue at all with no CE ratings as long as it is tested and by a good company.

 

@Coleman, i also have the Snakeanhcor great bit of kit very quick to setup and nice with the shock absorder at 4kn but remember you have to created alot more force than that to break it. as your rope will be over a crotch and then on the other side. Joe was telling me it took lots of effort to break his test one with that size log.Also After awhile some of the stitching breaks with wear against the tree, i had mine maybe half year tho and still sweet as.

 

That is the Problem! it is one or the other and i have taken the static accent with Snake anchor option. if unsure test your anchor x2 people, if more unsure re-throw.

 

used the New Platinum today, and also think that is bouncy.

:thumbup1:i think you have sold me mr squirrel and grey git just hide the credit card mate:thumbup1:

 

You can't go far wrong with the Arbocup, doesn't look amazingly durable and is stiff as cable new but it softens up, stands up to use and makes SRT access a dream.

Obviously a sideline of completely static ropes is that shock loading is very, very bad. I didn't spot my line was over a wee sprag above a fork and it didn't break until I was a few meters off the ground, thought I'd broken my ribs. That is why they aren't approved as PPE though. Just be careful.

couldn't have put it better myself.

I think its important to understand all the forces and possible scenarios that can happen with different equipment and work to those specs .
