Right Rope products.

They don't seem to cater to tree work. Mostly industrial ropes. Personally, I wouldn't trust climbing on a rope from them. I will stick with certified climbing ropes and rated rigging ropes from arborist stores where I know what I am getting will be what I need, and will be safe.

In terms of what ropes I use, I use many different kinds and brands, depending on what I am doing. Size, stretch, strength all play into what I need. Samson and Yale are my goto brands for climbing and rigging, but I just ordered a Bluewater Pro G 11mm rope because I needed the strength, 48 strand cover, and stretch it had for the size as a replacement for my wearing highline rig. I'm a double braid rigging rope person. Can't stand 3 strand ropes, and don't like the feel of 12 or 16 strand braids. 12 strand for winch lines until they come out with a super strong, and thin double braid that I like. Have not found one yet however. For capstans Sterling's Atlas is a no brainer. Tachyon for climbing with a prusik, just about any of the 11.7-11.8mm double braids for mechanical hitches, or the 48 strand Sandere for the smoothest DRT on a Zigzag you can get, although it can heat up your Zigzag pretty quick if you are zippy.
Bulk of my climbing ropes are Bluemoon or its variants for DRT. Kernmaster for strictly SRT. Lately I have been climbing on an older and broken in piece of Scandere DRT that I can opt for SRT on if need arises and it works out beautifully.

It looked to me like they are selling name brand ropes, not something they have manufactured, saw a lot from Atlantic Braids.

Yeah. I wasn't meaning they made their own. Probably worded that wrong. I just feel a whole lot better buying from a place that caters to arborists and not the world of ropes. If they are selling craft ropes and such, you don't know what the turn over on climbing ropes is. Why chance it when you can get it from a company you trust and is knowledgeable about your needs.
Or maybe I'm just being too damn picky....
 
Just wondering if anyone had heard anything about them got an email add that touted a 24 strand DB with 8800 tensile and 1% elongation. Almost sounds like steel cable.
 
Tango StatX 11.5mm has a 1.2% elongation with a 10,400 break strength, but it is a kernmantle.
8800 with 1% in a double braid 24 strand sounds a bit off the wall. I can go with the 8800, but that low of a stretch seems a bit of a stretch to me. Can you show us the ad you got? I would like to know more. I could not find it on their site.

Mine comes tomorrow. Ordered it from wesspur
 
Those specs sound like their in the same ball park as sterling 13mm HTP and that sucks for climbing. It's alright for certain situations but it really should not have ever been marketed as a climbing line
 
Sounds like it was an error in the ad copy. Could have been HTP, but it certainly was not a 24 strand double braid, unless some new technology has come along that I am unaware of. And that is always possible.
