short rope size?

[jeepster]

just a quick one. what length rope do you all use for your short rope. i have a nice long rope but am a bit reluctant to chop a bit off the end. was thinking about getting a 20m bit. nothing worse than reeling 45m through the tree.

i have a 25 two 35's a 10 and a 15 i also have a short tail side strop

 

normally use the 35 sometimes with the 10 if i need two ropes

30m is my fav everyday rope or 25m

try tying 20m in ropebag and see how that works before splashing out

I have a 20m and 15m.

The new lad(at the time)though, (who chopped through it with a sliky???)has a nice new spliced eye side strop of about 2M.

Last time i let him climb on my rope......

Many of the cheaper ropes can be bought off the reel so just get whatever you want. 20-25 m is big enough for many jobs and not too big for fruit trees and the like. I have a piece of Hi Vee that does that job.

i have a 35m normal everyday rope and a 14m yale for cherrys, small maples and general la climbing
