    Rigging Rope suggestions

    Hi Steve, ln you can only have one rope situation, would you prefer to have a Teufelberger Sirius 16mm running through a isc 5/8 block (100kn) attached with 5/8 Yale multisling (mbs7720kg) rigging down light to medium limbs and negative rigging 200lb- 500lb chunks or a 14mm Sirius for the same...

    I have rigging similar size topps on spurs with Samson 9/16th stable braid 5/8th Yale multisling for ISC 5/8 small red block, Buckingham 111 portawrap with 18mm Yale multisling. No problems, but l pushed the envelope a bit l would say, l never rig that heavy when it's so easy and safer to climb...

    Ideal Harness

    Thanks Rico for sharing your thoughts and experience on being a saddle whore. I have an opened mind on saddle brands, but no termination knot bridge for me. I will pull the trigger on the Buckingham if l get just a little push. Thanks again for your time.

    Ideal Harness

    Thanks Deevo for your interest and suggestion. I don't like any saddle with a termination knot on the rope bridge, l like the fixed bridge style on the Buckingham, also the many rated loop tie-ins. I have a deep hankering for this saddle, l hope to hear from some climber who has worked in one...

    Ideal Harness

    Speaking of good saddles, l have climbed in Petzl Sequoia for the last five years. Great saddle, sometimes the legstraps pinch a bit, l am thinking of upgrading to a Buckingham Master 5.0. I notice how the legstraps are buckled high up on the thigh- crotch area instead of low on the thigh like...

    ThQUOTE="TimBr, post: 523383, member: 9161"]Hey, @Tree worker9! You are probably the first Tree Buzzer from Ireland! The first I recall, anyway. It would be cool if you could post some photos of the scenery in your country. I hear that it is just beautiful. Tim I have to agree with you...

    Rigging Rope

    ThankQUOTE="CutHighnLetFly, post: 523334, member: 6626"]@Tree worker9 Sirius is a little more supple brand new, stable braid has a bit of a stiffer feel to it until it's broken in. For that price difference I personally dont think you are doing yourself a disservice by going with the Sirius line...

    Rigging Rope

    Thanks SomethingWitty for your view, l guess l will have to get used to the milking and break out the whipping twine. Still on the fence between the Samson and the Sirius though.

    Rigging Rope

    Thanks for your valuable input CutHighnLetFly. Just another thought, l like a rope to feel girthy and weighty in hand ( for the relevant diameter of course), as l have not the opportunity to visually inspect or handle these ropes. Would you say that the Samson is heaver in hand and seems...

    Rigging Rope

    Hi there SomethingWitty, You sound like you know your way around rigging rope. My dilemma, I am considering purchasing either Teufelberger Sirius 14mm bull rope or Samson stable braid 14mm bull rope, l hear much more positives about the Samson rope, but of course, the SAMSON is 120 euro more...
