  1. They seem to offer plenty of 10mm - do you think I should use one of those instead? I was told that the 9mm was more like 9.5mm
  2. I have a RADS/yo-yo system set up with the petzl ascension and a footloop. Rope comes down from tree, goes through ascension (which is attached to my harness via webbing), through gri-gri (attached to harness via locking carabiner), and back through a pulley attached to the ascension. Then to get down I remove the ascension. If this isn't safe, I would gladly reform it.
  3. Noob question: By "working line" you mean occupational, right?
  4. Those were the 8mm. Are you trying to say that all Sterling rope has had poor quality sewing, and to avoid their products in general? What would you recommend instead? The appeal to me is a) The gri-gri 2 accepts that diameter rope, and b) It's light enough to hike into my climb sites, usually deep in the forest. I have also heard good things about it's construction and the way it "stiffens up". Thanks!
  5. I'm thinking of getting some Sterling HTP. Is it good? How durable is it? Does the sheath snake?
