New to climbing .. Need advice

[Drew87]

Where do I get Reasonably Priced Rope From In UK / Internet Please.?? Loads of sites .. Too Confusing For A Newbie ... Am After 37m, Spliced , 11-13mm.

GUSTHARTS....SKYLAND....HONEY BROTHERS.....FRJONES 13 mm xtc plus is a nice starter rope. Or Thinner Tachyon or my favourite, 11.7 mm Yale "blue tongue" (light....highly visable and feels great in the hand:cool)

Go for a Yale XTC plus 13mm they are pretty much bomb proof and a very nice rope to use, try giving jonsie a ring, great service, he will sort it all for you and help with any questions about your new rope

 

Hope this helps

I've just started climbing myself recently and I bought my climbing equipment from honey brothers and F R Jones. Both are really reputable and have very good customer service in my experience. I've ordered things from other companies though and it's been pretty bad! I have a 37m Yale XTC rope and its quality as far I can tell!

Like I said Yale XTC ropes are fairly bomb proof and a nice rope to start on, I'd say use those for a few years then move on to something a little nicer (more expensive haha) like a tachyon or a New England high viz, because by then you will be less likely to damage it and make it last longer. But at the end of the day it's all personal preference you will soon figure out what works for you

Not sure about prussik just yet, so many out there, think im gonna have a feel of afew different types before a purchase.(Feels like new waters in a rickety boat 2bh) Proper out my area of knowledge, so gathering a feel for alsorts of kit n shiny bits. Have a Navaho to start .. Plan is to get better movin round a tree and proberly move on to a Seq or better if in stock.. Better kit etc. Pretty happy with the Yale so far .. And weight of it's not bad either. 37m : 5kg.

Another good place is Dicks Climbing in Bristol, his website is useless to be fair but the guy has a great respect in Bristol supplying rope acces equipment, rock/ice climbing, and srt equipment, he can pretty much get everything and anything climbing wise and always willmdo a good deal.....

 

Just say Anthony sent you over and he can get some awesome prices up together....
