Rope Runner

We've been discussing the KM3 13mm rope... I think @rico should buy a 200' hank of it and let us know if it meets his bouncy requirements in the remote arctic wilderness of Canada. Reports so far indicate it plays well with the Roperunner and it has the added bonus of causing nutsack hair regrowth... eliminating bald spots and skid marks.

For the last time you nitwit, Redwoods dont grow in Canada. Everybody knows they only grow in a the remote, subsaharan, Chicharron region of Mexico. Thats right. Now if Trump ever actually builds that wall of his you mudda skunts north of the border are gonna be permentantly cutoff from any future Redwood lumber or deep fried pork rind. Nada! You gringo fools might want to think long and hard about your next move mi amigo. We could sell a little of our incredible lumber and throw Trump a little cash if we were so inclined, but fuck that mudda rasshole bruv.

110$ for 150’ of Yale Aztec 11.7mm, if any of y’all are looking for a bargain :)
Or 200’ for 160$. The 150’ is the better deal though, the 50’ difference between the 2 lengths is a buck a foot. I’m gonna get 2 of the 150’ if it’ll come in a single 300’ piece, I’m sure they’ll make that happen.
Best price on these ropes I’ve seen outside of Black Friday sales.
Eye splices for another 30$
 
Gap has 150' of blue moon listed at $120, 200 at $164. But with a commercial discount they come in much lower. I got the commercial discount even though I don't quite meet the dollars per year of sales they said they were looking for, but its really nice to support a smaller company with great customer service too. They are actually listing blue moon with no splices as out of stock because they pre splice things, but if you call them they will probably get anything for you asap.
 
Bluemoon unfortunately is the weakest of the Yale 11.7s. Something in the dyes causes this. Plus the two color are the toughest. Never seen hivi....PI....sumac or calamine glaze.....neither aztec in orange or green......luna was great...prizm tough.....focus is good.....bluetongue pure cunt with nylon core.....rasta sweet.....bluemoon good and glazy.....but Calamine is king by farrrrrrrrrr. Ask Sam.....just kidding but is my fav.
 
Yeah, the Aztec orange and the Calamine are both nice. Blue Tongue is an oddball... nice looking rope, but that thing was like a rubberband. Makes a nice rigging rope, though. Do they even make that one, anymore? Haven't seen it advertised in a long time.
:D

I never heard someone describe a climbing line as glazey. I've melted my fair share of rigging lines, but never a climbing line. How do you glaze a climbing line swing?

Seen BlueTongue advertised in both Aust or UK websites

I saw this advertised at Sherrill. 150-200 ft lines are pretty worthless to me so I called to order a longer hank. The young man told me they had a 600 roll left so I said I would take. Now I figured I was gonna get the "Bro" deal that was advertised, but boy was I wrong. Fella did his ciphering and told me the grand total was gonna be just under $900. WTF? I tried to explained that the rope that was advertised was gonna be cut from the very same spool I just bought, so why were they gonna charge me top dollar for the same fucking rope. He said that since I was buying it bulk the price was $1.49 a foot and thats just the way it was. 86 that order and kindly go fuck yourself!

Gap is the shit!!! Love those guys. I just had my first test run on 150’ of purple scandere I ordered from them. Treeclimb always gets you 10% off. Worked beautifully with rr, rw, and akimbo

By flying out a tree doing a huge swing and creating huge heat.....I have seen loads of glazing on differing climbers lines. Mechanicals do not glaze. Rope on rope only. Doing a huge swing and misjudging then locking up in a big culprit....or long descends moving too fast.

Gaps regular price for 600 feet of blue moon is 489.99. I have always seen aztec as higher priced and unfortunately, gap only has blue moon in yale 11.7

I've glazed hitch cord that way, but never the rope itself. I guess I need to step up my game!
 
Oh, and I got a chance to check out some vega today. Really nice rope! Good density, good hand, smooth but not too smooth cover. I didn't climb on it, but feels real nice. If I wasn't so in love with my new 13mm km3, I'd get me some of that vega.
