Best rope for Spiderjack

[Rickytree]

Going to be buying a new rope with a spliced eye and was wondering what is the best rope to use with the spiderjack? Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Couldn't find anything. Anyone else with a spiderjack that can comment?

I think Joe harris uses Velocity,but i could be wrong.I like Tachyon myself.

 

[Rickytree]

Thanks Jimmy, have you ever used a 13mm rope and is it a good choice for the spiderjack?

 

[Crazy_Jimmy]

I havent climbed with a 13 mm rope in probably 8 to 10 years ,heck i cant remember.It would probably make the clutches last longer but the rope wouldnt pass thru it as well I assume.

Feedback i'm getting is Velocity is very good, along with other 11mm lines, up to 11.5 like tachyon is good too, but bigger lines like 12-13mm are wearing cams and bodies quickly.

Trev thanks for your input..

i played around with vortex this morning on a spiderjack 2.1 and was not that impressed. going to give lava and velocity a try this week. any other ideas would be great.

Put an order for Poison Ivy and will pick it up Friday at the meet in Mississauga.

Hope you got it with a tight eye splice. I think you will be very happy with th Poison Ivy, I have been climbing on it since 07 I believe.
Good luck

Poison Ivy works great. Guaranteed. (tight eye is nice)

 

[Rickytree]

Thanks Tobe. Believe it is coming with the tight eye splice. Really looking forward to the meet this Friday sponsored by Vermeer and Sherrill with proceeds going to Tree Funds Canada. $15 for lunch and all day Seminar. Thanks to Sherrill and Vermeer for putting this on.
