What line are you using?

Thanks for posting, Alastair. The one down-side I could give is that a short climber using a longish saw (Sugoi 360) finds the handle sticks out above the knee. (not that I'm short or have any problem with being short:blushing:)

OP has a polyester core, OV has an Aramid core. Both have the same jacket. Aramid is described as a 'liquid-crystal polymer'. Dak also stated the two had the same cover materials/construction - he said nothing of the core materials.
-
The rope has a jacket on the outside and then a core on the inside. The strength of the rope depends on the core strands i.e. core dependent. Other types of rope use the jacket and the core to provide the rope's strength.

Does it stand up to falling onto hard surfaces, and for how long?
-
I know what you mean, a bit like 'frogs legs' - must have been awfully hungry to invent the dish!
-
Bloody hard work, just to see if it's possible and not of much use when it's finished! Absolutely fantastic! BTW Well done, Ben.
-
Class!

Did they really say that about the Spitfire?
-
Good for you, David. Welcome to the site. Can I ask (out of nosiness) what you've worked at before this career change?
-
God knows WHY! Is there anything about Aeris that would make it an obvious choice over other ropes?
-
Ahaah! I should've seen where this was going from the very start!
-
Not as twitchy as the VT you've been trying, Mark. Reliable, easy to tie - and you can set it up with very short tails so very little sit-back.
-
The 'comfort' of a harness depends on the fit between the harness and the wearer. There are so many variables that recommending a harness would be like recommending a good pizza topping. Do you have a chance of trying other people's harnesses?
-
Nice stuff. YouTube 'slacklining - Moab' for exposure.
-
Aint that the truth. The customer's always right (even when they're wrong)!
-
So far - so good, Ben! You could try burying the taper in sections, a few inches at a time. Have you also milked as much cover up towards the bury point (D) so that it's as loose as possible over the area? Remember - you can leave it and come back tomorrow.

Or perverted!

I liked that, Ian - particularly the snap-off at 2:04. You were working low with the 200T, some big enough lumps. Thanks for posting.

The two legs of the hitch cord fix either side of the hitchclimber - the oval krab provides equal room on each side of the HC.
-
Considering 850,000 people in the UK have diabetes and don't know it, I would guess that some of those people might be tree surgeons.
-
That was my thinking too. I used the grillion strop with a pinto and OP cord - and have ended up with something that is like the CE lanyard.
-
I've tried the positioner and own a grillion - I'd go for the positioner, the grillion isn't great at releasing under load. I now use a VT and pulley.

High class!
