if its for just an access line then globe all day....... no question . Make sure you use a dynamic footlock sling though , I think if you use the tteufelburger dynamic footlock sling its actually a certified system.

Have also heard that Velocity is a great rope for footlocking, but it aint that so static as globe cause its a climbingline. Enybody has tryed velocity and the globe? I mostly ascend on footlock, srt just when i cant isolate a limb. So i am searching for a good footlock line that i can also use for srt ascent.

Globe isn't just a bit more static than velocity, it's pretty much totally static. Like climbing a steel cable, but a cable you can tie knots in. Platinum, from memory, is a bit more static than the likes of velocity but still very much a bouncy rope.

A good one to check out is arbocup, it's similarly static to globe, but doesn't cost a bomb. I know guys who have had bad knee problems using super static ropes for access all the time so could be worth looking at before shelling out heaps of cash. Think you'd have to get it off treekit in the UK.

Ok. Has enybody used NE Escalator rope? Have read lots of good things about it. But cant buy it enywhere?
