Best climbing rope.

XTC or New England for me

but i prefer the new england its much softer to use and the Hi- Vee has the safety blue inside which shows up realy good when the stupid groundsman cuts it for you(even though its bright bl***y orange)

I have just ordered some Yale Blue Moon, 120 ft for $100. Anyone used it yet? Going from 13mm to 11.7mm will it be much different?

when ive used a friends tachyon compared to my XTC i found very little difference in feel, it was definately lighter, but it felt the same in the hand and the thinner rope seemed to work better with a VT system.

been on imori for a month now ,i like it ,think i prefere tachyon though as the imori feels a bit like old multi plat ,the fibres seem to get snagged easy

I tried the velocity rope the outher day it was the best i have tried so far that was with a vt i normally use a geko and a prussic could be time for something new also i used an foot ascender as well with the system.

Gave my new tachyon its first proper outing today, it feels so light when moving it round the tree! Just running it on some marlow hitch cord at the moment as i try to stem my current spending but i got on with it really well.

Oh and i tried out poison ivy last week and was gonna go for that but the tachyon was a bargain. liked the poison ivy a lot too, good size and feel of rope, not as bright as the tachyon tho

Tachyon is ace, do yourself a favour and pm Oldsnake for some AP with spliced ends.....Great combo...

taday i got out my Poison ivy to climb on as my shorter rope was left in the yard , i very quickly remembered why i dought it , its not to small , its light , easy to move round the tree and works really really well with a Lock Jack and friction saver . Looks like i will be leaving my shorter rope in the yard more often !!!!

I have been itching to get some, maybe when i get back from the grand prix in a couple of weeks.

should i measure up my knot to knot friction cord length or is there a standard length?
