@Aerial Traveler I just picked up some predator and tried it yesterday. Super smooth with Epicord. Better than my Ivy or Scandere. No binding or jumpy descents and progresses nicely. I have a new favorite climb line now!
Treestuff has Beeline 8mm in 24". That stuff is super sticky even when new in my experience on Scandere 11.7 and Static 11mm ropes tied into a Knut or Michoacan configuration.
One had babies in the big oak in my back yard. Momma abandoned or got killed and the babies cried for her for days until it stopped. Found one dead on the stone wall under the tree trying to make it out.
Did you climb it? Would you? Should you?
I have a bunch of these Poplars in my forest and would contemplate climbing and dropping all the time, but I don't trust them...
