Yale Cordage Video

[Rich Rule]

Too late, mate, I am outta there.

 

Just hope they aren't waiting for me on my return. I would prefer to get caught with a Kilo of contraband than seen using a crab like that for rigging. ;0

[mistahbenn]

Thanks. Any more expats out there ?

 

What do you mean?

[Mark Bolam]

They do make cracking ropes don't they?

My Portland Braid has had some hammer and keeps going, and my old XTC climbing line has been hideously abused after I retired it, and just refuses to die.

What do you mean?

 

 

Rich is whoring himself in Norway mate.

He couldn't handle the South London winter anymore.

The only real danger is when an agry groundy sends that lump if steel flying up at your face.

 

It's a good job the lads I work with are pretty chilled or I wouldn't be able to eat solids!

I have had mine a few years, but IIRC the MBS was not far off the 19mm Double Esterlon.

 

Only difference is I can still use the Grey Impact block as opposed to upgrading the hardware to suit 19mm.

 

You might even recognise the device at the bottom mate... haha.

 

Edit: Oops there is a crab on that bottom pic. Hope the rigging police don't spot it.

IIRC, what's that ?

 

That's just a blue bag I'm carrying. It has stuff in it.

[mistahbenn]

If I remember correctly..

[RC0]

Yeah it was the cycles to failure I was referring to, not the MBS Rich. The elasticity of polydyne is what gives it the ability to absorb way more shock loads than the others. That blue rope I was using is 3/4 in. The red sling is 1 in, or 24 mm....both polydyne

[Wooden Hand]

Do you mean that it performs over and above a similar rope like Samson's Nystron? Is Polydyne 100% poly cover and 100% nylon core or has it been blended?

I do lots of dynamic rigging and went back to poly/poly double braid because the cycles to failure are so hard to understand and manage. We work the rope hard, like 5:1 safety factors and cut it up after 4 months or so.

Funny, long hair'd climbers generally prefer Samson ropes!

 

What the Yale you tryin to pull here Reg?

 

Your vid belongs in the Metropolitan museum as a work of art mate.
