SRT Rope & Compatible Hitch Cord, Help

[Joe Newton]

Armor Prus and Cougar Blue are both made by Donaghy's. I think Nod at treeworker can source both. Might be a bit dear though.

Ditch the Siruis mate. I burned through a hitch cord in 1 climb.

 

There are others out there.

How much does 8mm AP cost over there Ben?

 

Donaghys Armor-Prus 8mm Cord

$2.16

Yeah he has Cougar Blue at £3.00 per metre so pretty much the same as the rest, he's definitely worth calling for the Armor Prus.

[Rich Rule]

Yes he might have some in stock. Always worth a call with Nod. Sometimes things are not represented on his site.

I'd prefer to go for whatever combination I can get from one supplier (due to having an 'Exotic'?? Postcode) which probably rules out Cougar Blue and Armor-Prus unless I can get Armor-prus from Treeworker.

 

 

Nod is your man.. give him a call.

 

When im on the wrench i love 10mm armor prus on cougar. dont waste energy bouncing your way around the tree on kern or tachyon..

 

hrc and 8mm Ap also work great on cougar but you will get less burnt fingers on 10mm

Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but have been trying SRT on tachyon 11.5 - which i find to be pretty bouncy and squares off a bit under my weight (only on srt)

 

the problem i have is my friction hitch (sirus 8mm) either not biting at all (3 wrap 2 braid), making ascending annoying as i have to grab the hitch in order for it to bite

 

or, the opposite.. if i use a 4 wrap vt or use a distel hitch with more than 3 wraps, it seems to bind up really tight and become a pain in the arse...

 

Seems like a few guys are using slightly thicker friction hitch??

 

thanks

10mm volcano is sweet on SRT, but crap on DDRT

[Maxnaggle]

Thanks Joe, Yeah i did use 10mm something or other for a ddrt vt hitch and it was a pain.. which is why i have the 8mm.. Ill get some ordered .

 

Ta!

[Joe Newton]

It did work on ddrt after adding a couple of twists into the vt, but I find 8mm better.

 

I ran volcano 10 on tachyon with the wrench and loved it

 

TREEKIT sell it
