Hi Steve, sorry I took forever to reply... I never get messages on here so didn't check! I'm defo up for a splice session... I'm no master but happy to muddle on through with a few of us. Hows tricks bro?

Whether a rope is ce marked or not has no bearing on the Loler inspection does it? There is no ce on the knots we tie either. This is a really interesting thread because I find quite a lot of differing opinion from one inspector to the next on spliced rope.... Is this down to a need for clearer guide lines for inspectors or the inspector not being a splicer or some thing similar?

Hey Aaron, I'm getting some of my splices pulled at an engineering college... Just a thought but try one by you. Cheers bruv

I stayed self employEd with city suburban, loved it. Good lads with plenty of yard life if you want it. good mix of work... Productivity bonus works if you do. They have 3 or 4 yards now. They will hook you up a trial few days or week and you'll have a better idea. Good luck chief

hi Lawrence, just wanted to see how you doin bro, been a while... fabcy a catch up over a bottle o bucky?
-
I've been using this rope for a few months now for SRT and footlocking... it's super light and tough... Aeris Anyone else liking/hating or using something similar?
-
No one is saying much about weight... so i will... if we're in big trees then an 11mm (i use tachyon) makes life that much lighter (with the added plus of srt ascent gear that someone else already mentioned). footlocking, redirecting, pulling up gear it is all that bit easier.... as for the size difference and gripping its not long b4 you get 2mm stronger!! Most of my short ropes are xtc and so is my rescue line.... value for money and strong as oak.
-
Got me some pro ascents which are great but not as comfy as my old Asolo boots which a lot of americans use for day to day climbing and comps too.

Why are we recording our weight? is it some kind of rain man thing? 80kgs or 12st 8lds in New pence
