Can I use it for a footlock prussic? I can't really find any clear cut rating for the stuff so I'm putting it out to y'all. The Teufelberger website has the rating listed as daN 2.250. I'm pretty sure that means 22.5 kn but we don't use the metric system here and I'm confused.
 
I am pretty sure it is stronger than 5058lbs.

Although it looks like tree stuff doesn't sell it any more they do have the tree motion bridge which is made from the same stuff. It says that it is rated at 32KN or 7643Lbs.

Hey, bud! I have some 8mm Globe in hand. George has some up the the shop, too. Either way, let me know if you want to check it out. I'm not so sure it's supple enough to use as a FL prusik, but could be worth a try...

I already got some! Now I just need to figure out what to do with it.
 
Use it on a sailboat for...su'um..LOL!!!

Maybe as a leg of a FL prusik between a hitch and your saddle attachment? You could run a pulley in between the two for a nice hybrid get-up.

mmmm boats...... I could do all that but just want to make a FL prussic loop.
What say you?
 
I'm just thinking it wouldn't grab effectively. Try it out...low & slow.

Globe is aramid and might be a bit harsh as a connector I'd think?

Do you mean the rope on rope friction could be a problem?

I think he's referring to the core fibers, the general characteristics of aramids to be self abrasive.

Although if Globe 3000 is proven safe as a harness bridge on the Treemotion you'd think that was not an issue.

Banjo, have you tested yet to see if the Globe 3000 formed in a prusik/hitch will actually grab a doubled rope? As Oceans mentioned, the stuff seems too rigid to work well as a hitch.

This quote from the product page may explain why it is less self-abrasive than a pure aramid core line:

"Because of its differently braided cover, Globe 3000 is somewhat softer than Globe 5000, and its proportion of Dyneema® SK75 is reduced. The impregnation of the core and the soft PES intermediate cover make this rope easy to splice and protect it in the stripped state."

-AJ
 
What Moss and Eric are referring to is a rope or cordage ability to "zero."

Here is a cord that "zeros" easily.

Here is cordage that does not zero at all.

Of course it would grab a large line!

This is a good way to judge the grip of prussic cordage right out of the box and/or to determine if a cord is still good after getting dirty, worn or possibly glazed.


The better the "zero" the better the grip.

The Globe lines have a Dyneema core.

This makes it a good choice for rope bridges due to its high abrasion resistance and high breaking strain. It is less suitable for any application where there is the potential for heat being generated, as in friction hitches due to the low heat tolerance of Dyneema.

Also you might want to consider what kind of line you intend to use it on: if your access line also has low elongation (e.g. is also made from Dyneema), in the case of anchor point slippage, adjustment or failure this combination can potentially lead to very high peak forces being generated.
