Rope choice with Petal ZigZag

[edwood]

i use tachyon and i find its abit poo, i use poison ivy sometimes also and find its much better, only problem is its a 50m rope and a nightmare on trees that arnt giants.

 

although the poison ivy is 11.7 and the tachyon 11.5 if you put them side by side the tachyon is noticeably thicker.

Yale blue tongue all day!

I use 11mm which feeds well but kills hands after a few climbs.

Next rope will be Yale imori which is 12mm or blue tongue which is 11.7mm

 

11mm isn't good, zig zag isn't rated to less than 11.5mm buddy.

Thanks for letting me know Wasn't my choice. I inherited it when the last climber left. I won't be climbing on it again.

Hello

 

I've recently got a zigzag and have a 13mm Marlow Ghecko rope

 

It is tight to get through, even though they say you can use them with 13mm rope

 

Just wondering what other people use and how it fairs?

 

Thanks in advanced

 

Any double braid, 24 strand will do bro. 16 strand isn't really designed to run through gear. Its large braid in a cam or zig zag makes it bumpy to ride. Its also really stretchy stuff no good for bigger stuff.

Silky smooth with a pinto rig.

Love to know how the BLUE TONGUE worked with your ZigZag ? I am about to buy a ZigZag and a new Rope was told about the Yale Lime Lite ?
