Rope for a hitch climber!

[RichieR]

Have you bought your rope Max

[Maxnaggle]

Naw not yet, letting the dust settle after the monthly bills!

There's another rope to consider. Buxtons are doing Edilred 12mm Powerstatic. Wayne's got it it'll be perfect for your HC but even though it's 12 mm it works great with a ZigZag

[ArborClimber]

I was quite fancying the import but then I was told it milks a lot how's yours behaving

 

A bit late on the uptake again, on this thread....

 

I use the VT and a hitchclimber on both, ropewrench on the arbordread. Neither milk at all. The Imori is odd at first, feels like a 13mm, but as soon as weight is on it, it tightens to 11mm. Gets a bit of getting used to, but a great rope. Feels good in the hand.

Arbordread is static as dyneema, so no energy wasted.

 

I shopped around and tried a few ropes before I ordered, so was certain with what I wanted.

 

I'm happy with them at least....

Have you tried the static on the Zigzag

Have you tried the static on the Zigzag

 

Sorry mate, I haven't... But if I was, I would get hold of the 12mm arbordread, as with the 10mm the zigzag would stretch out fairly long, and that aint nice when you bend it sideways over a branch...

Even when I tried using a ZZ on 11mm velocity it was too thin by far. I think 11.7 or thereabouts is supposed to be best.
