Gentlemen, This WireCore Flipline is in excess of 8 years old. Yale started maxijacketing the fliplines over 4 years ago, and the snap on the end is ancient to what we are offering currently. In no way should the climber have been on this lanyard if they follwed the inspection criteria called out in the original packaging or on the Yale Cordage website. Yale Cordage has sold tens of thousands of these wire core fliplines and I have never heard of a complaint like this. I know that your orginal post was to let everyone know to be safe and check their gear, but you sir are the one who needs to inspect your gear more closley. I would not rely on someone else to check my gear. You should respect your stuff and inspect before every climb, after every climb. Things happen in the field to your gear that demand attention. If you were inspecting your gear before and after each climb, this would have been thrown in the bin long ago. If you can still read the serial number on the end, I will report to you exactly how old this lanyard is. My bet is pre - 2003 Finally, in good spirit, I am arranging to have a brand new flipline sent to you from our distributor in the UK. In return, I would like to have this one for our museum of Arboricultural artifacts.

Guys Guys Guys..... I think we are getting out of hand here....wasnt this thread to be about Limelite? Poor Darren you got more than you asked for here.... 1. Blue Moon is not CE - never has been - no plan to do it as of yet 2. Wesspur was simply mistaken in the Blue Moons characteristics and I find no fault in that but my own for not making it more clear to them. It is in our catalog, and on our website, both published with NO CE certifications claimed. I would not always rely on a re-sellers website as a sole source of information as there is lots of cut copy paste and information gets left out all the time. I would however refer to the manufacturers websites to find most information 3. I feel Nigel has explained the differences in all these ropes very well. And as he has stated, Fletcher Stewart is a Yale Distributor, I feel they are very knowledgable about our product and how we make it, even on how we make ropes that they dont carry, so they can at least explain the differences. This is what we feel a quality distributor does, represents the manufacturer and fields local product inquiries, such as these. 4. The infamous yellow tracer - its a way for Yale, Sherrill, and any user for that matter, to be able to identify the right version of Foreign or Domestoc Poison Ivy HiVy slotted for the next sale. Its nothing more, nothing less. The yellow tracer is there to ID the rope as the CE veriosn, if you cut the rope, inside should be a piece of flat core tape with the manufactirers name, date of mfg, and the descrption of the ropes characteristics. If you really want to do "homework" get a piece of each and cut it up. I dont know how to do the fancy quote thing so I will aslso try to answer everyones questions best I can: Darren:I know you only wanted find out about Limelite - yes, this is a CE approved rope Type A en1891 - sold in the US by Bishop and in the UK by Buxtons and possibly others. It is bigger than Blaze as Blaze is 11mm and the Limelite is 11.7mm Darren: what do you mean by "Real Tree" Camo? Burrell - Im glad you like the IMORI John Dawson: Limelite PI, and BM are all 11.7mm but IMORI is a bit larger. The IMORI has some different fibers in the cover to give the rope a better grip right out of the bag, a bit more broken in feel and it gives the rope an added size advantage...also, Yellow Jacket is a Samson Rope, Prostripe is Yales....Thanks for all your help here HighScale: I dont know what to say to you...I am very sorry that you felt like you got:handed off: or the "last conversation resulted in confused identities", however, I dont recall any direct emails or phone calls from you so once again please forgive me. I cant be on here all the time and thats why I rely on my distributors to do so on my behalf. Since Fletcher Stewart answered all these questions correctly and professionally, I have even more confidence now they are up to the job of properly representing us and our products in the UK. Lastly, I am slightly bothered by the fact that both my name, and our customer service managers name are being tossed around here as if you actually called and spoke with her when you did not. In fact, it was Wesspur who called into Yale to ask these questions and the information you gathered from their response is more than incorrect and very misleading to others reading this post. I'm not calling you a liar and if you, or anyone would care to email the factory with a question I can be reached many ways. this is one of them - Ask Jamie - Arborist Rope | Yale Cordage Kind regards Jamie Goddard Senior Account Manager Arborist Product Manager Yale Cordage, Inc.
