Why do people moan about weight of a rope and then stick all sorts of crap on their harness :001_smile:

 

Crap is usually sticky enough of course, unless it's dried up, which would make it lighter.

Or have an extra pie for lunch.

Having a big dump before the day begins will save the extra weight found in a tesco blue and white striped rope. drinking a pint of really salty water will evacuate the stomach, you'll all feel much lighter after these `climbers treatments'. Thank me later.

XTC for years, then recently Blaze, but found it too narrow for comfort. Multiplat for retro days in the willans.

I'm on a salamander which works for me but I have been looking at the ones from Petzl. They look and feel good but I have never climbed on them so couldnt say more than that

i like blaze but as you can see everyone has differing ideas

the best thing with ropes is to decide which diameter you fancy then that narrows the field in half

too thin, hand starts to get sore after a days climbing

 

i used to climb on a 13mm, then i got my 11.5mm tachyon, which was horrible for the first week or so, but then you get used to it and its all good, much lighter, easier to throw etc etc...:001_cool:
