    I'm with Al Baker on this one , it dose'nt work if it can open with abit of rope running over it , well it will open with branches rubbing over it , it's not safe I'd run a mile from this , not going in my kit bag. climbing is all about staying in the tree, can't fly me. karainers what ever type all have there place screwgates for rock climbing over 15 years up / down and around rocks never had a bad thing to say about them , would I use one on my life line in the trees NO way , there's one on my saw and yes it has opened. Thats my bit.

    Thank you Pete , that's what I needed to know , there's some money in the piggy box to spend , but not to much. 14mm rope it is so , have the hardware for that.

    It's new , in the warehouse only this year , I know the lad , and I was going to get it only because of the price €180.00 euro , he got it in for a guy that never came to pick it up .And I'd be mad not to have it for that money.I know what you are saying about the history of the rope , I've been around rope's and the climbing ind along time.(rock climbing) and safety come's first all the time, go's without saying.

    Abit of advice please , I'm picking up a new rope next for verygood money , 7.5 ton braking strain (18mm x 45mts) can't turn in down. What cost is a pulley going to set me back to work this rope and is it abit over the top , don't get any really big jobs. I'm using a 12mm rope to date and its fine. Peter.
