I am also heading down, hopefully there will be some decent cheap stuff!
-
Is it like Daisy chaining the rope? or some obscure method that no one has heard of? Thanks for your thoughts! Treespasser
-
Ahh I'm using just a regular prussik, I will give it a go. Thanks Treespasser
-
I will definitely give it a go. I can't stand these twists any longer! Thanks for yout input WeeDee! Treespasser
-
Wow! Thank you for sharing this! I will try it out! Treespasser
-
Would that not make it harder to decend? as the tail is now directed above you and pulling the underside of the friction hitch upwards? Treespasser
-
Thanks a lot, I will have to try this method aswell! Treespasser
-
I usually use the standard prussik, and more often the swabish prussik. Would you mind explaining this method? Thank you very much, Treespasser
-
I always coil the rope into a Gasket Hitch. As you mentioned loose bags in your previous comment, I gather it is best to feed the rope into a bag? Treespasser
-
haha thanks VEG! I will try it. Treespasser
-
I have tried this method also. It did seem to make a difference, but the next time I climbed it was twisted again. Thank you for the suggestion. Treespasser

I have tried this method, however the tree was not tall enough. It did help the rope untwist somewhat though. Thanks RobArb, Treespasser
-
Thank you very much WeeDee! I will give it a go, as soon as it drys up a bit. Thanks again, Treespasser

Hello there, I have recently purchased and received the 'Yale XTC-Plus' rope from Honey Brothers. It was sent to me with large amounts of twists in the rope. As I have little experience in climbing so far, I was wondering if anyone knows any easy and efficient methods of un-twisting rope, as it is a pain to climb with. Thanks, Treespasser
-
May I reiterate the second part of the question? How does the 'Double Snapper' work, and what is the importance of it? Thanks
-
I would highly recommend the Yale XTC ropes, as they are cheap and durable. They are also nice to grip when climbing and don't hurt the hands much.
