My first post here.
I´m about to buy my first rope but it´s hard to find proper Arborist rope in Sweden (without paying a fortune). My idea is to primarily use it for fun tree climbing and eventually, maybe, start to prune trees. I have an Anthron Lory (accept 9-11 mm rope) that I will have clipped to my saddle and a foot loop connected to a prusik. If it´s as fun as I believe I will eventually buy a Pretzl ascender for the foot loop.
It´s a lot easier to find rock/wall climbing ropes. Either dynamic or static, I think the specs on some static ropes look similar to arborist ropes. Am I totally misunderstanding that?
So my questions are, is it only inconvenient to use climbing ropes or is it dangerous? I can sacrifice convenience but not safety!
If I were to buy rock/wall climbing ropes, should I go for dynamic or static? Dynamic is more all-around of course.
Sorry for the long post. I really hope to get some valuable input on this.
Thanks.
