    Rope Rec

    I primarily climb SRT with rope wrench. My current rope is a 11.7 Yale Poison Hi-vi. I need a new rope and I am leaning toward getting a 16 strand rope instead of 24 for better durability. I wanted some feedback and or recommendations from you guys.

    Friction Hitch bind

    I run a 24 strand 11.7 Yale Poison Hi-vy. 10mm Rope Logic Hitch cord with a 4 over 1 distal. I am constantly having to loosen the distal because of binding. I weigh 165 and have tried a 3 over 1 distal but it's not reliable. I would like advice on how to have a smoother setup.

    Treatment? Removal? Thoughts? It's an Oak tree. Not sure what kind.

    When to retire a rope

    My Yale 11.7 Poison HiVi now has several areas that look like the pictured photo. All from handsaw nicks. None of the frays penetrate deeply but wanted advice on whether to retire.

    Climbing Pants

    I am trying to buy a pair of climbing pants. Neither Tree Stuff or Sherrill Tree have anything that I want in my size which is a medium. Ideally I am hoping to buy Arbpro Climbtech Sigma Climbing Pants but from those two sites the wait is 6-8 week. What are other places can I look for these...

    Spar System?

    A photo of this setup would be super helpful for me. It sounds like a great way to save time but I can’t quite visualize it.

    Friction hitch for foot locking

    Correct. For fun. And I thought might be faster for short ascents but that doesn't seem to be the case if I need to switch over to descend. Mainly just curious about it.

    Friction hitch for foot locking

    I am new to footlocking so I have only tried with doubled line. I climb srt so single line footlocking appeals more though. Is it a lot more difficult?

    Friction hitch for foot locking

    What friction hitch do you recommend for foot locking? 8 or 10mm? I run an 11.7 poison hi-vy.
