You just need it long enough to keep it off your hitch. So it depends on the length of the hitch. Parachute cord works.

jeeez, isnt this a forum to learn from and ask questions? i wasnt aware of there being threads about beginners use of the RW. sorry i asked.

Just get the tether Luke has advertised on treestuff, with or without the thimble, either works well. It's just kinda something you have to try and figure out for yourself.

Tip: search first, ask questions later. Seems to work for me.

Here's a simple way to search TreeBuzz:

I made this a Sticky Post in the General Discussion forum incase you forget how to do the search.

This format works for any website, just change the name.

Ok Josh everyone has bombed ya which I think is reasonable as Cary Gibson ( gibsontreecare ) started a thread ( rope wrench ruminations ) which is 10 pages long covering every thing under the sun about the wrench. But just use the red tether that comes with it, that is what I use and you can use a 27" to 28" hitch cord with a VT or Distel ( should keep the wrench out of hitch ) whichever you prefer this should get you started. Search earlier posts before asking questions you might save yourself lot's of grief. And don't be so uptight, keep things cool dude life is too short for that shite.

Oh yeah Josh remember that ya pissed a lot of people off here ( not me I didn't really know ya ) around Xmas with your leaving the buzz post etc, so have a little patience as I don't remember ya apologizing and man up for your part ( could be wrong here ). Just something to think about.

Right?! I though you where taking a good long break. Not long enough............

Don't mean to derail, I'm looking for a climbing line. How long should it be?

The answer is too easy

Twice as long as the highest TIP you expect...and a little more.
