What have you done with the old rope.

Well said Mathew.....i have been climbing on a ZigZag quite a long time now and have it perfected.It still amazes me how perfectly it does it's job.....Darrin i am wanting a new rope just for reccy climbs..The old one is a work rope.

Still not had a proper go on a zig zag. Don't see how it can beat a hitch to be honest and as I've got a tonne of Hitchclimbers and cord, 200 ish quid is too pricey for me I think

Paul, I know you are a creature of habit.

 

BUT

 

As you have tried out that rope a couple of times, why not mix it up a bit. There are a lot of ropes to choose from out there. You never know mate, you might enjoy something else that isn't so bouncy.

 

FTR I think blue tongue is really bouncy on a long haul. Tachyon is also bouncy but not as much as BT.

 

Or as you said it was for rec climbing why not be a real maverick and go for something not CE marked. That opens up a whole new realm of ropes.

I Value every conversation we have ever had Rich and they began right at the beginning of my thread.I respect any advice you give me my good friend....so i shall choose a new type of rope!

[Rich Rule]

Let us know what you end up with Paul.

 

Decisions, decisions!
